Ingredients to Make Chocolate Vegan Banana Bread
Banana bread is definitely one of those recipes that just about anybody could make. No-fuss, straight forward but damn delicious recipes are definitely my jam!
To make this delicious, gluten free banana bread recipe you just need a few easy to find ingredients. These are:
- ripe bananas
- extra virgin olive oil
- water
- linseed meal (also known as flaxseed meal or flax meal)
- plant based milk of choice (I used coconut)
- buckwheat flour
- tapioca starch (or corn starch if you can't find tapioca)
- cacao or cocoa powder
- baking powder
- coconut sugar (or Rapadura or brown sugar)
Most of the ingredients I sourced from my local supermarket. Ingredients like tapioca starch and coconut sugar are easily found at most bulk food or whole food stores. If you can't find them then, as I mentioned above, you can use corn flour instead of tapioca and Rapadura or brown sugar in place of coconut sugar.
As you can see, this recipe has no eggs or dairy, which makes it vegan and plant based. Instead of eggs I have used a combination of linseed meal and water, which does a really good job of binding so that the loaf doesn't crumble and fall apart.
A Delicious Breakfast or Snack
Whether having breakfast on the run or needing a yummy but filling snack, this chocolate vegan banana bread will do the trick! If eating for breakfast I would recommend topping with some banana slices and nut butter. The nut butter will provide some protein to help fill you up for longer.
This recipe has been made:
- nut free
- egg free
- dairy free
- gluten free
- refined sugar free
Being nut, egg and refined sugar free makes this chocolate banana bread a great school lunchbox snack.
The Best Gluten Free Chocolate Banana Bread!
Baking gluten free, egg free AND nut free can be a real challenge and often results in dry, crumbly bakes. But not with this recipe! Even though it is free from these ingredients, it remains a deliciously moist loaf with a dense crumb that doesn't fall apart the moment it's cut.
This is a result of both the bananas and flax eggs binding the recipe together and providing moisture. This banana loaf will stay moist for 2-3 days after baking when stored at room temperature.
