Instructions

  • I recommend measuring the ingredients in grams on a kitchen scale.
    Also, watch the video for easy visual instructions.
  • Preheat the oven to 360 degrees F (180 degrees C) and line an 8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  • Place all dry ingredients (except the chocolate chips) into a large bowl and mix with a whisk. You can also process the ingredients in a food processor (that's what I did).
  • In a small/medium bowl, mash the bananas really well (e.g. with a fork) and add them to the bowl (or food processor) with the dry ingredients.
  • Add the plant-based milk, vinegar, and vanilla extract and whisk again or use the pulse function of your food processor until just combined (don't overmix).
  • Finally, add the chocolate chips and stir with a spoon.
  • Pour the batter into the baking pan and add more chocolate chips on top.
  • Bake the bread in the oven for about 40 minutes (you don't want to overbake it). Check the center with a toothpick- if it comes out dry or slightly sticky/crumbly, that's fine, just not wet.
  • Let the banana bread cool, slice it, and enjoy!

Notes

Video Of The Recipe

 
  • Oat flour: To make your own oat flour, simply process oats in a blender or electric coffee/spice grinder. You can try using buckwheat flour for a grain-free version. Also, regular flour or spelt flour (for a non-gluten-free version) should work well in this recipe.
  • Granulated sweetener: You can use regular sugar, coconut sugar, or a sugar-free sweetener like Erythritol, Xylitol (birch sugar), etc. I used a sugar-free sweetener which isn't as sweet a regular sugar. So, if using regular sugar, I would recommend using less.
  • Make sure to use almond flour (which consists of 100% ground almonds). Any other ground nuts can be used instead of almond flour. For a nut-free version, you can use 75 grams of ground shredded unsweetened coconut.
