1. Preparation
Preheat oven to 190°C (top/bottom heat). Line a loaf pan with baking paper or grease it.

Mash bananas with vanilla, cinnamon, oat milk, and almond butter. Stir in apple cider vinegar and baking soda, then add sugar, salt, and flour and mix until smooth.

3. Marbling
Divide the dough in half. Color one half with HEALTHBAR Matcha. Alternately fill the two doughs into the mold and lightly marble with a knife.

4. Topping & Baking
Chop the matcha chocolate and sprinkle it over the batter. Bake for 45–50 minutes. Then let it cool completely and enjoy.

💡 Tips & Tricks

  • For more marbling: Pour the dough in several layers and only lightly cut through with a knife.
  • Optionally, you can decorate the finished cake with melted matcha chocolate.
  • Freeze in slices and toast when needed – great for taking on the go!
How intense is the matcha flavor in banana bread?

The flavor is pleasantly subtle. HEALTHBAR Matcha brings a light tart note that harmonizes perfectly with the sweetness of the banana – without overpowering.
Can I use other nut butters instead of almond butter?

Yes, cashew butter or light tahini also work well. Peanut butter adds a stronger flavor, but significantly changes the taste.
How do I get a nice marbling?

Alternate layers of dough and lightly spiral through them using a wooden skewer or knife – don't stir too much, or the effect will be blurred.
Which matcha chocolate is best as a topping?

Our organic matcha chocolate is perfect—it adds subtle sweetness and the typical green tea flavor. Simply chop or melt it and pour it over the cake.
How long does the banana bread keep?

Well-packaged, it will keep at room temperature for 2–3 days. Refrigerate for up to 5 days, or freeze in portions and thaw as needed.
