Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 tablespoons of ground flaxseeds
  • 6 tablespoons of water
  • 4 large ripe bananas, peeled
  • ¼ cup of vegetable or canola oil
  • ½ cup of plant-based milk (any variety)
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • 1 ¾ cups of all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup of brown sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons of baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon of salt
  • 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
  • 1 cup of non-dairy semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks, divided

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and lightly grease a 9x13 baking pan or dish.
  2. In a small bowl, beat together the flaxseed meal and water for 1 minute. Place in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
  3. Using a fork or potato masher, mash the bananas and stir in the oil, plant-based milk, vanilla, flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and flaxseed mixture until it’s well-combined. Fold in ¾ cup of the vegan chocolate chips (or chunks).
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top, and bake for 50 minutes. Test by sticking a toothpick in the middle of the loaf. If the toothpick comes out dry, the loaf is done. If it’s not, bake in 5 minute increments until the toothpick comes out dry.

Notes

  • Measure the flour correctly: Fluff it in its bag, spoon it into the measuring cup , and level it with the back of a knife rather than scooping it straight from the flour bag. Too much flour makes dense banana bars.
  • Use very ripe bananas: They’re easier to mash but also sweetest for the best overall flavor and texture.
  • Don’t over-mix the batter: You could overwork the gluten in the flour and end up with denser, drier banana bars.
