This Chocolate Chip Banana Bread is perfectly moist, flavorful and plant-based. Overripe bananas deliver an intense banana flavor and tender crumb, while the chocolate chips bring a rich and decadent taste to the bread. It is a match made in baking heaven!
A few tips: To ensure your banana bread easily comes out of the pan after baking, grease and line the pan with parchment paper. This recipe calls for nut butter. I have used peanut butter, but you could use any nut or seed butter you’d like, or even tahini. Ground flaxseed with a bit of water takes the place of eggs here, binding the batter and delivering nutritional benefits, too. To activate the flaxseed, just combine two tablespoons of ground flaxseeds with five tablespoons of warm water. Stir well and leave to gel up for 10 minutes. This is your flax egg. Now you are ready to proceed with the recipe.
To make the Chocolate Chip Banana Bread, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 350 °F. Grease and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
To a large bowl, add 3 mashed bananas, 2 flax eggs (2 tablespoons ground flaxseeds mixed with 5 tablespoons warm water), 100 milliliters oat milk or dairy-free milk of choice, 60 milliliters vegetable oil, 70 grams sugar, 3 tablespoons nut butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and whisk until well combined.
Sieve in 200 grams all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 50 grams cocoa powder, and 1 pinch salt and mix until combined.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips, reserving 2 tablespoons for topping.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips on top.
Bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven, and allow to cool in the pan for a few minutes before removing and slicing.
Slice and serve. Enjoy!
