Tips For Making Vegan Banana Bread Loaves
Use Very Ripe Bananas
This will not only give you a super flavourful chocolate banana cake but the more ripe they are, they better the texture. Ripe bananas make a great egg replacer in vegan baking.
Don't Over-mix The Batter
Fold the banana bread batter until it is just combined. Don't mix unnecessarily. This will ruin the texture of the cake.
Customise This Recipe
- Swap the chocolate chips for chopped nuts. I like to add finely chopped walnuts or pecans to mine. It makes a nice change to the chocolate chips.
How To Store This Chocolate Banana Bread
Store this cake at room temperature for three days or in the refrigerator for four days.
