I’m so excited about this blog post, as I’m not even that much of a fan of bananas, but this vegan banana bread recipe with chocolate chips creates something just so darn dreamy and delicious, so I’m typing at 100mph, wanting to share this recipe with you ASAP! First though, here’s a little story about how my love affair with vegan chocolate chip banana bread begun…
I won’t be one of those LOOOOONG boring recipe posts that goes on and on for ages, so here’s everything you need to know:
INGREDIENTS
4 Large ripe bananas
1/2 cup Coconut oil (in liquid form)
1/2 cup Coconut sugar
Tsp Vanilla extract
Tsp cinnamon
1.5 cup spelt or buckwheat flour (or just normal flour)
1.5 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 cup broken up vegan 70%+ dark chocolate – I use the Lindt one
1 cup broken up walnuts
METHOD
Preheat the oven 160 degrees and grease a loaf tin with coconut oil.
Peel and add the bananas to a blender or food processor with the coconut sugar, coconut oil, cinnamon and vanilla extract.
Once blended, pour the mixture into a bowl and add the flour, baking powder and baking soda. Mix together.
Add the dark chocolate chips and fold into the mixture.
Spread mixture evenly into loaf tin and bake for 30-45 minutes. Check every 15 minutes to be sure that the top isn’t burning.
Either eat whilst warm or leave to cool before eating. Toasting the banana bread is always a great idea!
Hopefully right now, you’re as happy as I am with the tastiest banana bread sitting right in front of you!
