- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon

- 1 1/2 tbsp vanilla extract
- 2 large bananas, mashed
- 1 cup (240 mL) vegan buttermilk, room temperature
- 1 batch of Vegan Peanut Butter Frosting
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a 9×9″ or 8×13″ baking pan with parchment paper greased lightly with oil.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the vegan butter, mashed banana, brown sugar, sugar, dairy free yogurt, and vanilla extract. Add in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt, along with the vegan buttermilk, and whisk until just combined.
3. Pour the banana cake batter into the prepared baking pan, and bake. For 9×9″, you’ll bake for 35-40 minutes, for 8×13″, you’ll bake the cake for 28-30 minutes.
4. Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer the cake to a cooling rack to cool completely before making the frosting.
5. Make the peanut butter cream cheese frosting: In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer, cream together the vegan cream cheese, vegan butter, and peanut butter. Add in the powdered sugar in 1 cup increments, using 1 tbsp of dairy free milk at a time to help achieve a super fluffy and creamy texture.
6. Frost the cake: Spread the peanut butter cream cheese frosting onto the cooled gluten-free banana cake. Sprinkle with extra peanuts and banana coins. Slice and serve!
