Description
This recipe is adapted from my great grandmother’s Banana Loaf recipe. It Works great as a loaf or muffins. No need for a proper egg substitute in this recipe as the bananas accomplish this on their own. For the oil I strongly recommend using Coconut Oil as it yields a buttery flavour and texture.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup Oil (Coconut or other)
- 1 cup Sugar
- 3 or 4 bananas (depending on size: 3 large or 4 small) Approx: 1 cup
- 1/2 cup white flour
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking soda
- Vegan ‘Dairy Free’ chocolate chips (optional)1
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Add Oil and Sugar to large mixing bowl.
- Cream oil and sugar.
- Mash Bananas in separate smaller bowl.
- Add mashed banana and baking soda to the oil and sugar mix.
- Add flour and salt.
- Mix ingredients by hand until combined. Avoid over-mixing.

- Grease Muffin Pan or Loaf pan with Coconut Oil.

- Bake until brown on top and firm to the touch.2

For Vegan chocolate chips I recommend reading the ingredients rather than looking for ones that are advertised as Vegan. Most semi-sweet chocolate chips other than ‘Chipits’ are dairy free. Bakers semi-sweet is a good option. Enjoy Life are a good option if you need to avoid other potential allergens like soy. Personally I find them overpriced compared to grocery store house brands or Bakers. ↩

For muffins bake approx 25-30 minutes. For Loaf bake approx 50-60 minutes.
