Chocolate Banana Loaf (Vegan, Gluten-free, Oil-free)

It happened again! I got a whole heap of ripe bananas. They are an excellent ingredient for smoothies and nice cream, but also for banana loaf!

You can find a recipe for classic banana loaf as well as a walnut blueberry banana loaf on this blog. But I felt like adding a little chocolate twist to it. And I am so glad that I tried it. It has the typical moist and soft texture of a banana loaf but with a delicious chocolate flavour. I added some chocolate drops from TradeAid, but it also works without them.

As always, this recipe for Chocolate Banana Loaf is vegan, gluten-free and oil-free. It also works well as a muffin dough.

Cuisine American

Servings 1 Bread

Equipment

• 20cm loaf tin

Ingredients

  

• 350 g ripe banana without peel
• 2-3 tablespoon coconut sugar if you like it extra sweet
• 1 tablespoon psyllium fiber husk
• 3/4 cup water
• 150 g rice flour
• 70 g buckwheat flour
• 50 g FAIR-TRADE cocoa powder (if you live in NZ, I highly recommend the one from Trade Aid)
• 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• a handful or two of chocolate drops optional

Instructions

 

• Preheat oven to 190°C (top- / bottom heat). Line loaf tin with baking paper.
• In a blender, mix banana with coconut sugar, psyllium fiber husk and water until smooth.
• Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl. Add the banana mixture and the chocolate drops swiftly stir to combine. Be careful not to over-stir.
• Transfer dough into the loaf tin and spread evenly. If you like, sprinkle with additional chocolate drops (make sure to press them into the dough).
• Place in oven and bake for approx. 15 minutes, then cover by placing an un-coated empty tray into the rack above, to shield it from direct heat.
• Bake until inserted skewer comes out clean (I baked it for 40 minutes). Let cool down on a cooling rack.

Enjoy! 🙂
