Choc Chip Banana Bread
Who loves Banana Bread – I do!!! I’ve got quite a few different variety of recipes on my own blog, but today I wanted to share this delish Choc Chip Banana Bread which is gluten-free, dairy-free AND egg-free. Perfect if you’re working through some food-intolerances or you’d prefer a plant-based recipe.
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cups mashed banana, about 2 large bananas
- ⅓ cup melted coconut oil
- 3 tbsp rice milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup coconut sugar
- 1 ¾ cups gluten free flour (I used Baker’s Magic)
- 1 tsp baking soda
- pinch sea salt
- ½ cup vegan dark chocolate chips
Method
- First, preheat oven to 180 degrees Celcius. Line a bread pan with parchment paper and spray with nonstick spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, add mashed bananas, melted coconut oil, milk, vanilla extract and coconut sugar. Stir to combine.
- Once combined, add in gluten free flour, baking soda and sea salt. Stir to combine. Batter will be pretty thick.
- Fold in dark chocolate chips.
- Use large spoon to transfer batter into lined bread pan. Dot with extra chocolate chips on top if desired.
- Bake for 38 to 42 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Finally, remove from oven. Allow bread to cool for 1 hour before carefully slicing and serving.
