Ingredients
In the dough of the vegan chocolate banana bread is, in addition to cocoa, a good portion of fine dark chocolate, which consists of only 3 or 4 ingredients: cocoa mass, cocoa butter, and sugar. Usually, I'm not really into bitter varieties. So pure for snacking 😉 . Baked, they do perfectly and partly much better than milk chocolate. The more intense flavor (even of types with about 60% cocoa content) fits perfectly with the vegan chocolate banana cake. By the way, our healthy banana cake without sugar, wheat, and Co. is also vegan. You see, even if you want to eat more consciously, you do not have to do without delicious treats!
How to make the Vegan Chocolate Banana Bread
First of all, preheat the oven to 350°F/175°C. Grease a small loaf pan (7-8 in / 18-20 cm) and dust lightly with cocoa. Cut the very ripe bananas into small pieces and mash them. The pure pulp should be about 300g. Now, chop the chocolate into small pieces. Mix all the wet ingredients, and the banana puree last. Mix the dry ones as well. Add wet to dry ingredients and mix briefly but vigorously. Fold in the chocolate chips.
After this, pour the dough into the prepared pan and smooth it out. And the last step is simply baking the chocolate banana bread for about 55 minutes AND enjoying it.
Top Tip
To make the chocolate banana bread moist and fluffy without eggs, you'll need some fruit vinegar and baking soda, just like the latter. The same principle as with the vegan nut cake. The result will blow you away, guaranteed!

Can this be made with an alternative flour? I am gluten free.
Hi! You can use gluten free flour mix / blend, both homemade and store bought. I don´t think that a single alternative flour would work, because the textures are very different
Best, Kathrin
