Instructions
Preparation & Mashing Bananas
- Grease with oil or line a loaf pan ( 8 x 4 x 2.5 inches) or round cake pan (8 x 2 inches) with parchment paper.
- In a bowl mash chopped bananas with sugar very well.
Sifting Dry Ingredients
- Add oil, almond milk, vanilla and mix very well till the mixture is homogenous.
- Sift whole wheat flour with salt, cinnamon powder, baking soda and baking powder in a tray or plate.
- Add the sifted ingredients to the wet banana mixture.
- Add chocolate chips. Substitute with nuts if you do not have chocolate chips.
Folding Batter & Baking
- Fold gently. Do not over do this step.
- Pour in the greased loaf pan. Level neatly from the top with a spatula. Tap the pan lightly a couple of times on the kitchen countertop.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 35 to 45 minutes or till a fork or bamboo skewer comes out clean.
- Keep the sweet bread on a wired rack to cool at room temperature.
- When completely cooled at room temperature, gently remove the bread from the pan. Serve or store in an air-tight box and refrigerate. The bread keeps well for a couple of weeks in the fridge. You can even freeze the bread.
- Slice chocolate chip banana bread and serve as a dessert or as a sweet snack.
Notes
- All purpose flour (maida) can be added instead of whole wheat flour.
- To skip baking powder add an overall total of ½ teaspoon of baking soda. So do not add the extra ¼ teaspoon of baking soda mentioned in the recipe. Also add 1 teaspoon lemon juice and vinegar which will reduce the soapy aroma of the soda a bit. You can even add 1 teaspoon of Eno (fruit salt).
- To skip baking soda add a total of 1.5 teaspoons baking powder.
- To skip both baking powder and baking soda add 1.5 teaspoon of Eno (fruit salt).
- Instead of chocolate chips add some chopped nuts & dried fruits or berries like cashews, almonds, pistachios, pecans, walnuts, dried berries etc.
- For replacing almond milk substitute with soy milk, cashew milk, rice milk, oats milk, light coconut milk (thin or medium consistency) or any vegan milk. If you are a vegetarian, you can add dairy milk.
- Chocolate chips can range vegan semi sweet chocolate chips to dark chocolate chips (if you don’t mind a slight bitter taste) and cacao nibs. For a vegetarian version, add milk chocolate chips or white chocolate chips.
- No Vanilla, no problem. Add aromatic spices instead - ground ginger powder, cinnamon powder, cardamom powder, nutmeg powder & ground pumpkin spice.
- To skip sugar replace it with maple syrup, jaggery (Indian unrefined cane sugar), coconut sugar, palm sugar or any sweetener. Just do not add honey as it becomes toxic when heated.
- If the chocolate chip banana bread has become dense or hard then it is due to over mixing or too much folding of the batter. So fold with light pressure from the hands and go easy. Do not overdo the folding part.
- Note that one loaf of this bread, yields about 10 slices. The approximate nutrition info is for 1 slice of this sweet bread.
