I’ve at all times liked banana bread. It’s one thing that my Mother and Grandma at all times made once I was little (the identical shared recipe) and it was at all times so good irrespective of the variation of it that was baked that day. Generally it had nuts or chocolate chips however the chocolate chip model was my favourite. I’ve since veganized that recipe and that’s the one which I at the moment make once I really feel like I must do away with a couple of over ripe bananas. Final weekend I used to be within the temper for one thing wealthy and chocolaty so I made a decision to make Vegan Double Chocolate Banana Bread! It turned out so good I needed to share the recipe!
For the flour, I used entire wheat pastry flour as a result of it’s what I’ve readily available and like more often than not, however you possibly can use all function flour. Or if you want to make a gluten free model of this bread, swap the entire wheat flour for Bob’s Crimson Mill gluten free all function baking flour (I’ve tried this model and know it really works effectively for recipes like this). I used brown sugar as a result of I just like the little little bit of caramelly taste it offers to issues, however as a substitute of the brown sugar you possibly can additionally use maple sugar or coconut sugar and even granulated sugar for those who desire these.
For the milk, I used oat milk, however you need to use any sort of unsweetened plant based mostly milk on this recipe, corresponding to soy, almond or coconut as a substitute of the oat if that’s what you’ve gotten readily available. For the oil on this I used avocado as a result of I like the flavour however if you want to make this oil free, use 1/4 cup almond butter ( or your favourite nut or seed butter) as a substitute of the oil. I’ve carried out this earlier than and it’s scrumptious additionally. The batter for this bread has loads of chocolate taste within the type of cacao powder in addition to darkish chocolate chunks and it’s so scrumptious!
It smells wonderful whereas baking, like one of the best chocolate cake ever! I couldn’t wait to attempt it and once I did I used to be not disenchanted! It’s wealthy and scrumptious, delicate and candy with decadent darkish chocolate chunks all through, and a touch of vanilla! It’s great with a cup of espresso! Everybody I shared this with loved it!
