    Eggless Peppermint Banana Bread

    Dec 29, 2022 · Leave a Comment

    This is a delicious eggless banana bread of the season loaded with peppermint flavors, stuffed with peppermint cream cheese, and topped with white chocolate, candy canes and peppermint crunch candies. 


    Banana breads are versatile and that makes them a unique choice to make them with seasonal flavors like Pumpkin Banana Bread and Eggless Banana Almond Gingerbread. This peppermint loaf is an addition to the list. When the bread is stuffed with cream cheese, it is totally delicious! Cream cheese pairs well with many flavors, and so the flavors in these bread blend harmoniously creating the ultimate breakfast experience. This is an eggless loaf, the bananas and aquafaba give a great texture and softness to the bread.  For a variation, this can be baked into mini loaves or even muffins.

    This loaf has tons of peppermint flavor. Peppermint syrup, peppermint extract, peppermint candy canes, and Andes peppermint crunch. The cream cheese layer has the peppermint crunch and the candy canes. Even with this many layers of peppermint flavoring, this is not overwhelming at all. Both banana and peppermint can be overpowering flavors, but in this loaf, both these are perfectly balanced. Just the right amounts of both!


    Peppermint flavor is the flavor of the season. Don’t you agree? Peppermint has a strong odor, with a warm herbaceous taste and a cooling after taste because of the menthol present in higher concentration. This gives a refreshing taste and it is my favorite one. A cup of Peppermint Hot Cocoa or Peppermint Mocha is my go to choice. These Peppermint Hot Cocoa Bombs are  great edible gifts too! Here are more recipes using peppermint.

    Priya suggested the theme as Festive Recipes in our Shhhh Secretly Cooking Group, and by the way, her blog has a wonderful collection of recipes for each festival. Preethi is my partner this month and her recipe for Tahitian Donut is on my top list to do.  She suggested peppermint syrup and aquafaba as the secret ingredients. I made this loaf using the ingredients. In turn, I gave coconut milk and condensed milk as the secret ingredients and she made this delicious payasam. Any festive occasions are incomplete without a payasam.

    This delicious peppermint eggless banana bread with cream cheese is my share for the Bakeathon 2022. This is my 12th baked recipe for this event this month and here are the links to the recipes shared earlier.

      A wonderful way to use up candies and candy canes which usually get leftover after Christmas. Love how you've given the basic banana bread new flavour and texture too. I've yet to try out aquafaba in my eggless bakes.
