Banana & Chocolate Bread

Cake is my guilty pleasure, especially ones with chocolate in.  Emma Donogue said “If I was made of cake I’d eat myself before somebody else could” which I think could be quite true of myself! I love to feed my sweet tooth and so I love making things like brownies or blondies but I also love loaf cakes like my ginger loaf or a lemon drizzle.  I remember my mum making banana bread and me eating it with butter spread on.  I tend to try and go for healthy treats these days but that doesn’t mean I don’t have an extra thick slice.

Choosing your flour

This Banana & Chocolate Bread is lovely as a snack or desert. The recipe is as versatile as you want to make it. I use gluten free oat flour because I try to avoid gluten most of the time for health reasons and I prefer it to buckwheat flour as I find that has a bitter taste. You could substitute the oat flour for a plain gluten free flour or mix half and half with brown rice flour.

Banana & Chocolate Bread

Dairy Free Ingredients

I use almond milk in baking but any plant based milk would work here. In this recipe I am using Ombar raw chocolate as it’s my favourite vegan chocolate partly because it tastes amazing but also because it contains live cultures so it’s good for my gut too!

Banana bread is a great way to use up any fruit that’s gone a little soft. My boys love anything banana based so this would be a fab cake for them to try. #KCACOLS

Banana bread is a firm favourite in our house (in fact I’m pretty sure my husband hides bananas until they’re soft just so he can say to me, hey look, we’ve got loads of leftover bananas…) but I’d never thought to add chocolate to it so I’m definitely trying out this recipe soon. #KCACOLS

Oh it looks beautiful, I just love banana bread. The dangerous thing is though that I could easily eat the whole thing! I’ve never had chocolate and banana bread before so the next time I am baking with the little ones (often on a Friday afternoon) I will give it a go! #KCACOLS
