I have been forgetting to write this recipe up for a while. I found the pictures again when scrolling through my photos and wondered how I could have forgotten such unforgettable banana loaf! 😉
Is there anything more comforting than a nice cup of tea and a huge slice (or two) of yummy moist banana loaf? hmm I think not. And we all know chocolate makes everything better…
Anyway there’s not really much more to say other than this needs to be made so here, go make it…..
Chocolate Chunk Banana Loaf
- 2 or 3 soft bananas, mashed
- 2 tbsp ground flax seeds mixed with 6 tbsp warm water
- tbsp of honey/ golden syrup/ agave syrup
- 80 ml of sunflower oil

- 100g of caster sugar
- 80 ml rice milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract

This looks spectacular. Love the height you got without the eggs! Wonder if I can replicate this gluten-free? Hmmm. Will need to try it.
If you make it gluten free let me know please! I would be very interested!
Mmmm, yum yum! That looks delicious, and you’re right of course, everything is better with chocolate 😉
on that subject I am sure I am right…. 😉
Just wanted to say, p’raps I shouldn’t but… I try one if the gf flour mixes (told we cannot fail by various that show them on you tube). I have some great successes and failures but even if it us a bit flat it often tastes good and my sweet toothed husband gets cake, and I get cake I can take a little nibble from!
