Who may say no to a lush slice of vegan chocolate banana bread? Not me! Banana bread is scrumptious as is, however add chocolate into the combination and also you’ll find yourself with one thing really irresistible 😍
Banana bread might be considered one of my favorite forms of cake.

I can see myself making many extra variations sooner or later too 😀 I simply love how dense and moist they’re. You actually can’t go flawed with a superb banana bread. It’s such a crowd-pleaser!
Deal with your self or make it the subsequent time you need to impress somebody along with your baking expertise. It’s tremendous simple to make, you simply want one bowl and a wood spoon! It appears so gorgeous topped with a sliced banana, however in case you solely have 3 ripe bananas readily available, don’t panic, it would nonetheless style scrumptious with out. I have to admit I added it extra for adornment and for that ‘wow impact’. It does add some additional sweetness and banana flavour, however leaving it out gained’t be the tip of the world.
What it is advisable to make this vegan chocolate banana bread:
Ripe bananas – the riper the higher. Ripe bananas add extra pure sweetness and make the loaf extra moist and wealthy.
Oats – I take advantage of floor oats (aka oat flour) in most of my bakes and candy treats. It’s a terrific various to white flour with extra fibre and vitamins. You can even make the recipe gluten-free by utilizing gluten-free oats. All it is advisable to do is mix your oats (fast/porridge oats are finest, however any will work) right into a wonderful flour utilizing a excessive velocity blender.
Floor almonds – this provides extra moisture to the cake and works very well mixed with oats.
Cocoa – darkish baking cocoa powder works finest to make the chocolate wealthy and tremendous chocolatey.
Sugar – I often use brown or coconut sugar, however any granulated sugar will work. Initially the recipe referred to as for 55g of sugar as that was candy sufficient for me (I now not get pleasure from tremendous candy treats), however a few of my style testers stated it wasn’t candy sufficient for his or her liking. I then modified the recipe to incorporate 75g of sugar. You need to use extra of much less relying on how candy you want your treats!
Baking powder – to assist the loaf rise.
Oil – I take advantage of coconut oil, however any oil will work.
Milk – I didn’t need to use an excessive amount of oil, so I’m utilizing some milk so as to add additional moisture to assist the batter come collectively.
Flax/chia egg – this works as a sticky, gloopy binder. You need to use 1 common egg in case you choose.
