One of the most popular recipes during lockdown has been banana bread. And for good reason! Banana bread is so easy to make and so delicious. This version that I made is a vegan chocolate chip version. The bread comes out so soft and fluffy and you can modify it in so many ways. You can add walnuts, dried fruit, or even use this same recipe to make the bread into muffins! Hope you enjoy this vegan chocolate chip banana bread 🙂
What you will need:
In most baking recipes, I like to separate my ingredients into wet and dry ingredients. I find that this makes for easier integration of all the ingredients and less clumping.
Dry ingredients: whole wheat flour (I have not experiemnted with any gluten free flours yet), coconut sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmet, and salt.
Wet ingredients: 1 flax egg (1 tbsp ground flax and 3 tbsp water), 3 ripe bananas, 6 tbsp maple syrup, 1/2 cup dairy free milk, 3 tbsp coconut oil.
Finally, you will need 1 cup of dairy free chocolate chips.
How to make your vegan chocolate chip banana bread:
Start by making your flax egg and set aside.
Combine your dry ingredients and set those aside as well.
Next, combine your wet ingredients plus the flax egg. I ended up putting mine in a blender to get a more even consistency.
Next, slowly combine your dry ingredients to the wet, about 1 cup at a time.
Lastly, fold in your chocolate chips. Grease a bread pan with coconut oil, pour the batter in and top with more chocolate chips.
Bake your banana bread for about an hour at 350*F. Stick a toothpick in it until it comes out clean and then you know it’s done☺️
