Banana Bread
Ingredients
- 4 small or 3 large over-ripe bananas
- 75ml oil of choice
- 100g coconut sugar(or any other unrefined sugar)
- 225g plain, gluten-free or buckwheat flour
- 3 heaped tsp baking powder
- 3 tsp cinnamon or mixed spice(optional)
- pinch salt
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 100g vegan chocolate chips, or chocolate bar broken into pieces
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees celsius, and line a loaf tin with baking paper
With a fork or potato masher, mash the bananas well until little lumps remain
Add the oil and vanilla , then stir in the sugar until well incorporated
Sift in the flour, spices(if using) and baking powder, add the salt, and carefully fold the mixture until combined
Finally, gently stir in the chocolate chips, then transfer the batter into your loaf tin
Smooth the top with the back of a spoon, or a spatula
Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, then if browning, cover with tin-foil to avoid burnt edges
Bake for a further 30-40 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean, and the bread if firm to the touch
Leave until cool enough to handle, then remove from the tin and enjoy!
