Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Marbled Ube Banana Bread
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard loaf pan with oil or vegan butter, lining the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Stir in the apple sauce, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  4. Gradually add the dry mixture into the banana blend, combining gently until just incorporated.
  5. In a third bowl, combine the ube halaya, non-dairy milk, and lemon juice, mixing until smooth.
  6. Spoon alternating dollops of the banana batter and ube mixture into the prepared loaf pan, swirling gently with a butter knife.
  7. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The top should be golden brown.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Using very ripe bananas ensures maximum sweetness and moisture. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread light and fluffy.
