This chocolate banana quick bread is gluten free, oil free, dairy free, and refined sugar free 🙂
And tasty!
INGREDIENTS:
Makes 1 loaf banana bread

- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda

- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 cup pureed overripe banana (about 3 medium sized)
- ½ cup plant milk
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup vegan dark chocolate chips (i used enjoy life)
Tip: for a toddler friendly caffeine-free option use toasted carob powder instead of cocoa and vegan carob chips instead of chocolate.
DIRECTIONS:
- Bake 350° for about 35 min. (Test with toothpick but don’t over bake) In a parchment lined bread pan
- let cool. Enjoy
- Cut into tiny squares and freeze in a freezer bag for a quick healthy kids treat
My toddler calls these brownies. Either way she gobbled them up!
We even served them at an early morning playdate! Healthy, gluten free, allergen free. Great with sliced watermelon. (Avocado bagel not included 😉 )
