Taste and Occasion
Basically, I am in for almost everything that has to do with chocolate or bananas. The traditional American Banana Bread is a real classic at home. But this vegan banana bread with chocolate is also a delicious variation.
Nobody will know that the recipe does not use eggs, butter and the like! The banana bread is nice and moist - just as it should be. Similar to the classic, it has little to do with what we in Germany understand by the term bread.
So maybe rather "vegan banana chocolate cake"? In any case, a cake that really tastes intensely of chocolate. The fact that the banana chocolate bread is healthy, vegan and still delicious is mainly due to the ingredients.
Ingredients
In addition to cocoa, the dough contains a special bar from Ritter Sport. The Ritter Sport cocoa class stands out mainly because of its colorful appearance. But only the inner values!
The three varieties of fine dark chocolate, make do with three or four ingredients. "The Fine" from Nicaragua, which I use for the chocolate banana bread, consists only of cocoa mass, cocoa butter and sugar.
How to make the Vegan Chocolate Banana Bread
Let's get started with this delicious recipe for the eggless Chocolate Banana Bread! First of all, preheat the oven to 175°C/347°F. Grease a small loaf pan (20 cm/8 inches) and dust the surface lightly with cocoa.
For the next step, cut the very ripe bananas into small pieces and mash them. The pure pulp should be about 300g.
Now, chop the chocolate into small pieces and mix all the wet ingredients together, the banana puree last. Mix the dry ones as well. Add wet to dry ingredients and mix briefly but vigorously. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Then, pour batter into the prepared pan and smooth it out. Bake the chocolate banana bread for about 55 minutes. And then: Enjoy!

Can this be made with an alternative flour? I am gluten free.
Hi! You can use gluten free flour mix / blend, both homemade and store bought. I don´t think that a single alternative flour would work, because the textures are very different
