Dette Pepperkake-bananbrød is a soft, moist, and super flavorsome sweet loaf, perfect for a Christmas breakfast. Its crumb has all the flavors of gingerbread cookies with the softness of banana bread.
I have an unrelenting love for banana breads of all kinds, from my Pistasj-bananbrød til min Gresskar-bananbrød, I live for transforming the classic recipe into delicious variations for all occasions and all seasons.
So, naturally, when the fall season is in full swing and Christmas is just around the corner, I knew I had to combine my favorite Pepperkaker med mandelmel flavors with the simple and healthy banana bread. And believe me, it’s quite a thing!

Pepperkake-bananbrød
Ingredienser
- 1 ½ cup Most banan - 1 notater
- ¾ cup Mykt brunt sukker
- ⅓ cup Olivenolje med mild smak - 2 notater
- ¼ cup Usvovlet melasse - 3 notater
- 1 teskje Vaniljeekstrakt
- ½ teskje Salt
- 1 ½ cup All-purpose mel - 4 notater
- 2 ts Baking Powder
- ½ teskje Natron
Instruksjoner
- Forvarm ovnen til 180 °C. Kle en brødform på 23 x 13 cm med bakepapir. Smør papiret og formen lett med oljespray eller kokosolje. Sett til side.
- In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork or the paddle attachment of your stand mixer. Mash until almost no lumps show. It must be very runny for an ultra-moist texture. Measure 1 cup + 1/2 cup of mashed bananas – if extra, freeze for later.
- Whisk in light olive oil, molasse, vanilla extract, brown sugar, salt, and gingerbread spices: ginger, cinnamon, and allspice. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
- Fold in all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and stir with a rubber spatula until a smooth consistent banana bread batter forms.
- Overfør røren til den forberedte brødformen.
- Bake the bread on the center rack of the oven at 350°F (180°C) until a pick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean – about 55 to 65 minutes. You can add a piece of foil on top of the pan after 30 minutes to prevent the banana bread from browning too fast.
- Let the bread cool down on a wire rack for 2 hours before slicing or decorating.

Ingredienser og erstatninger
This recipe is inspired by my classic banana bread, but to give it gingerbread flavors, I use soft brown sugar, molasses, and all the classic gingerbread spices.
- Mos bananer – Ripe bananas (with black spots) bring all the sweetness and moisture you need for the bread. If you have extra, freeze the mash for future bakes. If you use unripe bananas, the bread won’t taste as well and might not be sweet enough.
- Mykt brunt sukker – Soft brown sugar enhances the rich flavor and color of the bread. It also brings some moisture. You can use coconut sugar as an unrefined alternative.
- Lett olivenolje – Olive oil adds moisture without overpowering the flavors. Other options include light avocado oil or almond oil.
- Unsulphured Molasses – This is essential for the gingerbread taste. If unavailable, substitute them with maple syrup, but note the bread will be lighter in color and won’t taste as gingerbready.
- All-purpose mel – Swap with whole wheat or white spelt flour for a heartier texture. For a gluten-free version, use my glutenfri konverteringsguide.
- Gingerbread Spices: Cinnamon, Ginger, Allspice, Nutmeg – These spices bring warmth and depth to the loaf, all you expect from gingerbread. If needed, substitute allspice with ground cloves or more cinnamon for a similar flavor.
- Bakepulver og natron – Ensure your baking soda and powder are fresh to achieve a perfect rise.

Dekorasjon
I love decorating this cake to make it even more Christmassy. There’s so many options you can use to make it super fancy.
- Vegansk vaniljeglasur – This vanilla frosting is a classic frosting made with just 4 ingredients, and it pairs perfectly with the gingerbread flavors.
- Vegansk sjokoladeglasur – For a chocolate version of my vanilla frosting!
- Vegansk kokoskremfrosting med 3 ingredienser – Denne frostingen er enda enklere enn min klassiske vaniljefrosting, siden den er laget med bare tre ingredienser.
- Vegan Ganache – This is ganache adds a soft a chocolatey layer on the bread.
- Cashew-glasur – Denne sunnere frostingen er laget uten cashewnøtter for en deilig vri.
- Vegansk Royal Icing – Min royal icing er et flott alternativ for en litt tykkere pynt.
Once you have frosted the bread, I recommend baking a few of my gingerbread cookies to either decorate the top or crumble on top.
Carines baketips
While all you need is in the recipe card below, here are a few more tips to make this recipe perfect every single time.
- Bruk modne bananer – The riper, the better! Bananas with black spots have more natural sweetness and ensure a moist loaf.
- Avoid Overmixing the Batter – Fold the dry ingredients gently to prevent overdeveloping the gluten, which could make the bread dense.
- Forhindre overbruning – Place a piece of foil over the bread after 30 minutes of baking to avoid excessive browning on top.
- Avkjøl helt før oppskjæring – Let the loaf cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours. This ensures it firms up, making it easier to slice.
Made it today and was a huge hit. Made it gluten free. Will definitely make this again.
I am so glad it worked out GF too! thanks for sharing your lovely feedback. Carine.
Gluten Free!?!
There’s a gluten-free option in the notes, if that’s your question 🙂
It’s delicious. Thank you for all amazing recipes that you share.
This is amazing! I made muffins, instead of bread and they turned out amazing. I didn’t have molasses, so I used honey and for soft brown sugar I used Muscovado dark sugar. They are soooo delicious. Thank you for your amazing recipes. Hugs
I’m glad you liked it, and happy to hear they work fine as muffins!!
Perfect for Christmas, I love it!
