Metric - American

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 190C°/375℉
  • In a large bowl, mash the bananas very well.
    2 medium very ripe bananas
  • Add in the sugar, oil, plant milk and vanilla extract and mix until frothy and thick, so that the sugar is dissolved.
    60 ml sunflower oil, 60 ml plant milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 100g g brown sugar
  • Add to the wet mixture the flour, sugar, sea salt, baking powder. Give it it a good mix so the ingredients are combined.
    240 g plain/ all purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • Then add the chocolate chips and stir in.
    100 g vegan chocolate chips
  • Grease and line a loaf tin, and add the mixture to it, smoothing it out.
  • If you wish, slice another banana lengthways and position over the top, and add more chocolate chips. *optional
  • Bake in the oven for an 45 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean.

Notes

HINT: 
If the top of the bread is looking like it will burn before the loaf is baked through, pop some aluminum foil over the top while it finishes baking.
Ways you can switch up this recipe:
  • Muffins: -make chocolate chip banana muffins by spooning the mixture into muffin tins instead of making it in a loaf pan. Bake at 175°C/ 350°F for 20 minutes.
  • Other chocolate chips - use vegan white chocolate or milk chocolate chips. If you can find them, mini chocolate chips are delicious.
  • Nuts - add ⅓ cup or 100g of walnuts, roasted peanuts or pecans (or your nut of choice)
  • Gluten-Free use your favourite gluten-free flour. I've tested this recipe with Doves Farm gluten-free flour.
  • Double Chocolate: Add 50g of cocoa powder (and omit 50g of flour) from the dry ingredients and mix, before mixing through the wet ingredients. Then add the chocolate chips as usual.
