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

This vegan and gluten-free chocolate banana loaf 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.

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.
