If you read the ingredients in this Rock and Roll Banana Bread you will be intrigued by the combination of flavors – peanut butter, bacon, banana, etc! We couldn’t wait to try out this recipe that was submitted into our baking contest. We were pleasantly surprised by the amazing flavors, execeptional moistness, and heartiness. This banana bread could be a whole breakfast meal in itself!
***We made ours egg-free to see what would happen, and skipped out on the peanut butter chips since we didn’t have any that were dairy-free. Check out all of our substitutions below.
Alternatives
Dairy-Free:
To make this banana bread completely dairy-free use a dairy-free peanut butter baking chip, like Davis Chocolate Peanut Butter Chips. The rest of the recipe is 100% dairy-free.
Egg-Free:
With a few simple replacements you can make this bread egg free.
To the dry ingredients add:
3/4 tsp baking soda
After everything is mixed together (the wet, dry, bacon, etc) mix in 1 tbsp vinegar, fill your pans, and bake.
Vegan:
If you want to make this bread completely vegan, replace the bacon with a vegan bacon alternative, or just omit. *Follow instructions to make egg/dairy-free too.*
Peanut/nut free:
Replace peanut butter with your favorite nut butter alternative (Sunbutter/ Soy-based butter). Exclude peanut butter baking chips.
This Rock and Roll Banana Bread is extremely hearty with the addition of oats and bacon. Try it out as breakfast muffins for a breakfast that will keep you full all morning.
Wouldn’t this be fun to try out with some chocolate chips?!
