Vegan Recipe: Marbled Banana Bread

 

This recipe can be made as a tray bake for a larger bread, or you can halve the recipe amounts and use a traditional loaf tin. 

Ingredients:

- 3 cups of self raising flour

- Approximately 1/2 cup of vegan chocolate melting buttons. We used milk chocolate but you can use dark for this recipe

- 1/2 cup of vegan chocolate chips, milk or dark, depending on your preference 

- 4 mashed bananas (small to medium sized) 

- 1 cup of white sugar

- 1/2 cup canola oil

- 4 eggs made with Orgran vegan egg replacer

- 1 cup milk substitute - we used soy milk

- 2 teaspoons of vanilla

Method: 

- Melt the chocolate buttons in a microwave oven and put aside.

- In another bowl, combine the mashed banana, sugar, oil, eggs, vanilla and milk. Now mix in the flour and stir to remove any flour lumps.

- In a separate bowl, combine the melted chocolate with about a third of the banana batter. Stir until the batter and melted chocolate are combined to form a chocolatey batter, and then add the choc chips and stir.

- Prepare your baking tray or loaf tin. Pour in a layer of banana batter. Now drop spoons of the chocolate batter on top. Then layer some more of the banana batter and then the remaining chocolate batter until all is used.

- Take a skewer or knife and swirl the batter to form patterns within the loaf.

- Bake at 180 C for around 50 minutes. The banana batter will cook to a golden brown on top but you can test inside with a skewer (make sure it comes out clean).

- This marbled banana bread is delicious alone but is also wonderful with a dollop of Flora Plant Cream.
