Description

A delicious and sweet vegan banana bread, made with chocolate chunks and brown sugar. Perfect for an indulgent breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

  • 1-½ cup All-purpose Flour
  • ¼ cups Whole Wheat Flour
  • 1 cup Rolled Oats
  • 2 teaspoons Cinnamon
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 1-½ teaspoon Baking Soda
  • ¼ cups Earth Balance Butter (or Regular)
  • ½ cups Brown Sugar, Packed
  • 1 Tablespoon Ground Flaxseed
  • 3 Tablespoons Water
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla
  • 1 cup Very Ripe Bananas, Mashed
  • 2-⅞ ounces, weight Chocolate, Chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Coarse Sugar, For Topping

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375ºF and lightly coat three 3×5 loaf pans with cooking spray. In a medium bowl, combine flours, oats, cinnamon, salt and baking soda. Mix and set aside.

In a large bowl, beat Earth Balance butter (or regular butter) on medium speed until creamy. Add the brown sugar and continue to beat on high speed for about 3-4 minutes until light and fluffy, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary.

Meanwhile, combine ground flax seed with water in a small bowl and mix well with a spoon (non-vegans can substitute 1 large egg). Add this into the butter mixture and beat until fully combined. Stir in vanilla.

Add half of the dry ingredients to the liquid mixture and mix. Once combined, add the mashed bananas, then the rest of the dry ingredients. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and beat batter on low speed until completely incorporated.

Lastly, chop chocolate into tiny chunks or pieces and fold it into the batter. Pour batter into the prepared pans and sprinkle with sugar to add some texture (recommended).

Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a loaf comes out clean. Remove them from the oven and set the pans on a wire rack. Let bread cool for 30 minutes before serving, then cut each mini loaf into thirds.

The flavor is great – not too sweet but then with chocolate chips it still feels like a treat. The texture is a bit chewier and heartier from the oatmeal, which I like. I made these with regular butter and an egg, and as muffins mostly because I wasn’t sure about the conversion between 3X5 and a regular size loaf pan. I made 11 muffins, I think anywhere from 10-12 is reasonable for the amount of batter.

Oh my word…YUM!
I used the egg and regular butter. I also cooked mine in muffin tins, about 10-12 minutes. So delicious and healthy, even.
