Also, it is a great vegan option so no need to feel guilty about eating this! In this adventure of a soul full journey, I am sharing with you how to make the most amazing Chocolate Chip Banana Bread.

Why Homemade Banana Bread?

Banana bread is so delicious and an awesome vehicle to get rid of overripe bananas. A blend of oats, flaxseed and bananas create a guilt-free sweet treat. This version uses dairy-free chocolate chips, soy milk and ground flaxseed so it’s vegan as well but still tastes moist and a little rich like banana bread can be.

Vegan Banana Bread Recipe

Recipe Overview

• Preparation Time: 10 Minutes
• Cooking Time: 50 Minutes
• Servings: 8

Ingredients

• 1½ cups flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ cup brown sugar
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup rolled oats
• 3 large ripe bananas
• 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
• ⅓ cup unsweetened soy milk
• ⅓ cup vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup of Mini Dairy Free Chocolate Chips (divided)

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1 :

Heat: To 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper all four sides so the bread is easier to remove.

Step 2 :

Combine the Dry Ingredients – Take a large mixing bowl and add together flour, baking soda, brown sugar, rolled oats, salt & baking powder. Stir well and set aside.

Step 3 :

Wet: Combine mashed bananas (they should be very smooth and not have any chunks at this point) in a large bowl. Mix in the ground faxseed, unsweetened flavored soy milk (I used vanilla this time), vegetable oil, maple syrup and vanilla extract. Whisk the wet ingredients together until evenly mixed.

Step 4 :

Fold Wet Mixture With Dry: Slowly pour wet ingredients into the bowl with dry. Mix until just combined— do not to over mix and loose the air in it which makes for a light fluffy banana bread. And stir in half of a cup of the dairy-free mini chocolate chips by hand with a rubber spatula.

Step 5 :

Batter – Pour the batter into a loaf pan (I Love to prep my pans with parchment paper) Spread out evenly. Sprinkle on top the other 1/2 cup of chocolate chips and spread them out nicely for extra chocolaty coverage.

Step 6 :

Bake: Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees with rack in the center. Bake for about 50 minutes in a convection or regular oven and until golden brown along edges of pan (middle may still be slightly soft). To see if the banana bread is done, insert a toothpick in the center of it and make sure only moist crumbs stick to it.

Step 7 :

Cool and Serve: Cool the banana bread in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a rack to cool completely.

Creative Twists & Serving Suggestion

• Kick You Up a Notch: Add ½ cup of chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter along with chocolate chips for an extra crunch.

• Sprinkle shredded coconut over the uncooked batter for a Coconut Twist and smash of tropical flavor.

• Sweet & Savory Twist: Throw in a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg into the batter to get warm spice note, which also helps you feel full longer amidst all those bananas and chocolate.

• Serve: Have a slice of this banana bread warm with vegan butter or it’s perfect on its own, dipped in your coffee. You can eat it in the morning or afternoon as brunch.
