    Vegan banana bread

    This Vegan Banana bread is our goto recipe, whenever there is over ripened bananas on the table. Infact, i sometimes leave the bananas unattended so we can enjoy this vegan banana bread.

    Step by Step instructions for Vegan Banana Bread

    I have used 2 ripened philiphines banana for this recipe, if using indian variety small bananas , one might require 3 or 4 depending on the size.

    banana

    Take the peeled bananas in a bowl, mash it well using a fork. Add brown sugar and oil to this, mix well and keep aside.

    banana and sugar mixed

    In another bowl, take flour, baking powder, baking soda and cinnamon powder, whisk the dry ingredients well together. You can alternatively sift the dry ingredients.

    flour mix

    Now add the dry ingredeints to the wet ingredients in batches and combine well with a spatula. Use water to combine the batter. Add chocolate chunks and walnuts finally and incorporate them into the batter.

    Chocolate chunks and nuts

    Grease a loaf pan, preheat the oven to 160C. Pour the batter into the pan, level it with the spatula, tap to release any excess air. Bake the loaf inthe oven for 40-45 minutes.

    banana bread batter

    Insert a skewer in the middle of the baked loaf to check the done-ness, if the skewer comes clean, then the bread is done. Remove the loaf let it sit on the counter for 10 minutes.

    Banana bread ready

    After 10 minutes, loosen the edges of the loaf with a blunt knife and slowly tap the loaf and unmould it onto a wire rack. Let it cool completely on the rack. Slice and serve.

    Important points to note

    • Sifting/whsiking the dry ingredients together helps to get a homogenous flour mix and creates a lightness in the dense flour mix. If you are a beginner to baking, i recommed using a flour sifter to do this. A whisk also works well
    • Do not beat the batter vigorously. Use gentle cut and fold method to incorporate the nuts and chocoaltes.
    • If you are beginner to baking , i recommend lining your pan with parchment paper after greasing it. This helps to keep the loaf intact without sticking to the pan.
    • Baking time varies from oven to oven. I baked this loaf in my microwave convection oven, if I bake the same loaf in my gas oven it will take only 30 minutes. So baking according to your oven.
    • Resting time is very important to remove the loaf intact from the pan. So have patience.
    • Allow the loaf to cool well before slicing it, to get a proper slice.

    Equipment

    • Convection oven

    • Spatula
    • Balloon whisk
    • Loaf tin
    • Measuring cups and spoons

    Ingredients

    • 1&½ cups whole wheat flour All purpose flour can be used
    • 2 nos ripened bananas i used philiphines variety
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
    • ½ cup dark brown sugar + 2 tbsp
    • ⅓ cup oil i used sunflower oil
    • ⅓ cup water + 1 tbsp
    • ½ cup dark chocolate chunks i used amul 55%
    • ⅓ cup chopped walnuts

    Instructions

    • Preheat the oven to 160C. Grease a loaf pan with oil and line it with parchment. My loaf pan measures 7.5 x 3 x 3 inches.
    • In a wide bowl, take the peeled bananas, mash it well with a fork. To this add brown sugar and oil and mix it well. Keep aside
    • In another bowl, take flour, baking powder, baking soda and cinnamon powder. Whsik the ingredients well together. Alternatively you can sift the dry ingredients to get a homogeneous flour mix.
    • Add the flour mix to the banana mix in batches. add water and using a spatula combine it to a batter. Take care while mixing, do not mix vigourously. Use gentle folding.
    • Add dark chocolate chunks and walnuts to the batter and mix it into the batter. Again use gentle cut and fold method to incorporate it into the batter.
    • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, bake for 45-50 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean (check notes)
    • Once baked, remove the loaf from the oven, let it sit for 10 minutes on the counter. Then using a blunt knife loosen the sides of the loaf from the pan, and slowly unmould it onto a wire rack. Let it cool completely.
    • Once cool, slice the loaf with a serrated knife and enjoy it warm. Cling wrap the rest of the loaf and it will stay good on the counter for a day.
    • if storing for more then i would recommend refrigerating it in an air-tight box. While serving from the fridge, microwave the slice for 10-20 seconds and enjoy it warm.
