Eggless Chocolate Banana Bread
This Chocolate Banana bread is a healthier take on a delicious combination. Banana bread is delicious on it's own, but tastes even better with chocolate added. This bread has a combo of whole wheat flour, honey, coconut sugar, almond milk, and a low amount of fat to keep it light.
Equipment
- 8.5x4.5 Loaf pan
- 2 Large mixing bowls
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Whisk
- Spatula
Ingredients
- 2 Overripe Bananas mashed
- 2 1/2 tsp Pure vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp White or cider vinegar
- 2 tbsp Coconut oil melted and cooled slightly
- ¼ cup Unsweetened almond milk
- ¼ cup Honey
- ¼ cup Turbinado sugar
- ¾ Cup Unbleached all purpose flour
- ¾ cup Whole wheat flour
- ⅓ cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp Baking soda
- 3/4 tsp Baking powder
- ½ tsp Fine sea salt
- ¼ cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease an 8.5×4.5 loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, mash the banana, then add the vanilla, vinegar, oil, almond milk, and honey. Stir until just evenly combined. In another large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, soda, and salt.
- Add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Spread evenly into the loaf pan. Sprinkle the chocolate chips on top. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Remove to a wire rack to finish cooling.
Notes
- Make sure to use very ripe bananas for optimal sweetness. Don't overmix the batter when combining the wet and dry ingredients. It should be mixed enough, so there are no lumps.
- Bake the bread for 40 minutes and check to see if it is cooked through. It may take a few more minutes depending on your oven temperature.
- Store the bread wrapped in aluminum foil in the fridge for 3-4 days. Freeze the bread wrapped in aluminum foil and placed in a ziplock bag for up to 3 months. Defrost at room temperature or in the fridge for a few hours.
- I highly recommend serving this bread cold or almost frozen! It tastes much richer and is even better for summertime!
