Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas
- ¼ cup (60 g) melted coconut oil preferably virgin (neutral taste)
- ¼ cup (80 g) maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ¾ cup (220 g) all-purpose flour or spelt flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup (90 g) dairy-free chocolate chips
Optional Add-On:
- 1 banana
- a handful dairy-free chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line an 8×5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
- Mash 3 bananas in a large mixing bowl using the back of a fork. Add coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract, whisk until combined.
- Stir in all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Fold in chocolate chips. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
- Optional: Slice one banana lengthwise in half and place it on top of the batter. Sprinkle with extra chocolate chips.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes in the preheated oven. → The bread is done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean.
- Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove from the pan and let it cool completely before slicing.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container or packed in aluminum wrap for up to 4 days in the refrigerator.
- Freeze: Once cool, transfer the bread (I suggest slicing it beforehand) into a freezer bag and freeze for a maximum of 3 months. Allow to thaw in the fridge overnight, or rebake frozen bread for a few minutes in the oven. Single slices can be thawed for 30 minutes at room temperature.
- Coconut Oil Substitution: Use ¼ cup olive oil or dairy-free butter (melted).
