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.
Course Banana Loaf
Cuisine American
- 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
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.
