About Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

When it comes to baked goodies, they usually are made with all purpose flour/refined flour, dairy milk, eggs and the likes. How about a gorgeous Chocolate Chip Banana Bread that has none of these? In fact, it is eggless and has almond milk and whole wheat flour. Thus, a completely vegan sweet bread recipe too. Vanilla goes as another flavor and this Chocolate Chip Banana Bread also has a hint of earthy cinnamon. All this makes it an absolute yummy-in-your-tummy snack. I have adapted this no fuss, one bowl recipe from my eggless and vegan Banana Bread recipe. The best thing would be to use overripe bananas. But its just as good even with ripe and frozen bananas too. Since it is my continuous effort to create and formulate recipes that can be easily replicated at home by one and all, most of my baking recipes too are simple and utilize ingredients that are readily available in any pantry. Chocolate Chip Banana Bread recipe is a similar one. The aim is to make more and more people take to baking, and not be stressed with the laborious procedures that it may involve otherwise.

How to make Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

Mash Bananas

  1. Peel and chop 2 large bananas and add them with 6 tablespoons raw unrefined sugar in a mixing bowl.
  2. Mash bananas very well with a potato masher or a fork. You can even mash the bananas and sugar in a blender.

Mix Wet Ingredients

  1. Next, add ¼ cup oil, ¼ cup almond milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract in the mashed bananas.
  2. Mix well to form a homogenous mixture.

Mix Dry Ingredients

  1. Sift 1.25 cups whole wheat flour (150 grams) with a pinch of salt, ¼ teaspoon cinnamon powder, ¼ teaspoon baking soda and 1 teaspoon baking powder. You can also sift the ingredients directly in the bowl containing the mashed bananas. Also, preheat oven for 15 to 20 minutes at 180 degrees C or 356 degrees F. Grease with oil or line a loaf pan (8 x 4 x 2.5 inches) or round cake pan (7.5 or 8 x 2 inches) with parchment paper.
  2. Below is a picture of the sifted dry ingredients.

Make Batter

  1. Now, add the sifted dry ingredients to the wet banana mixture. Also, add 6 tablespoons semi sweet vegan chocolate chips. Substitute with chopped nuts if you do not have chocolate chips.
  2. Using the cut and fold technique, fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients gently. Fold with light pressure from your hands and do not over fold.
  3. The batter should not look gluey or doughy. It should have volume and look like a cake batter.
  4. Pour the batter in the prepared loaf pan. Level neatly on the top with a spatula. Tap the pan lightly a couple of times on the kitchen countertop.
  5. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees C or 356 degrees F for 35 to 45 minutes or till the top crust is golden. The timing varies from oven to oven. So, it can take less or more time for baking. You can use only the bottom heating element or both the heating elements if using a regular oven.
  6. Check the doneness of the bread with a fork or bamboo skewer. It should come out clean.
  7. Keep the bread on a wired rack to cool to room temperature.
  8. When completely cooled to room temperature, gently unmold the bread from the pan.
  9. Slice the Chocolate Chip Banana Bread and serve as a sweet snack or dessert. You can keep the bread in an air tight box and refrigerate to store for a few weeks.
