Equipment

loaf pan
mixing bowl
parchment paper or oil for greasing

Ingredients

Wet:

2 large bananas over-ripe + mashed
¾ cup coconut sugar
½ cup water
½ cup egg replacer see notes
¼ cup walnut oil another vegetable oil can be subbed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry:

1 teaspoon cinnamon ground
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoon baking powder
2 cups bread flour

Fold in:

½ - 1 cup walnuts raw, chopped
1 cup vegan chocolate chips

Topping:

½ - 1 medium banana sliced long ways

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
Add all the wet ingredients to a large mixing bowl and mash and whisk together.
Add in the dry ingredients and whisk (or use an electric mixer) until combined and fluffy. Mixture will be slightly chunky from the mashed banana.
Fold in the walnuts and chocolate.
Pour batter into loaf pan. Add optional banana slice(s) on top.
Bake at 350 for 55-65 minutes or until loaf passes the toothpick test.
Pull loaf from oven and allow to cool for at least ten minutes before lifting parchment paper from pan. Cool for another 10-20 minutes before slicing and serving.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to a week. Freeze for longer storage. Serve chilled or warm, whatever your preference. I love cold banana bread from the fridge!

Notes

egg replacer: I would use either JUST Egg or silken tofu, pureed + an extra pinch of salt

serving size: I like to thickly slice thos loaf, then slice each slice in half to serve. That way you can have 1-2 servings. Yeah, I usually end up eating the whole slice, but sometimes just a half slice does it!
