  • Healthy Vegan Chocolate Banana Bread

When I first worked with the vegan banana bread I was a little scared. I had no prior experience of how to work with a banana mix, but this time I was more confident. Vegan chocolate banana bread with whole wheat flour might feel complex, but trust me this is a very easy recipe to bake at home.

Chocolate Banana Bread is made from mashed bananas. This bread is usually sweet, tender, and moist and cake-like bread that is full of banana flavor.

It doesn’t need kneading like other bread and quite easy & quick to make.

It was first featured in American cookbook and later on got acceptance in other parts of the world. The USA celebrates 23 February as The National Banana Bread Day.

The Vegan Banana Bread is already a popular recipe among the most recent recipes that I have posted. My experimental recipe on breadsticks and wheat semolina bread are also popular recipes.

A few folks turned back asking for a healthy substitute for sugar in the vegan banana bread. Many people asked if they can add other flavors in the banana bread and which flavor will go best with banana.

The answer is yes and so I thought to experiment with my earlier Vegan banana bread recipe and made a few changes. Finally, I come up with this all-new recipe for Vegan Chocolate Banana Bread.

There are many recipes for Banana bread around the world and everybody has his/her own variation. I read many recipes and blogs to equip myself better. After the reading was complete, it was time to start experimenting.

I had to test a recipe in the Indian environment before recommending the recipe to my visitors. I wanted my recipe to be healthy, eggless, flavorful, easy to make and can be made in a jiffy.

On my older post, I got a few queries and people asked me for a dairy free dessert recipe and made from whole wheat. So keeping everything in mind, I planned my experiment.

After a few trials and twists, I finally got my no-fail recipe. It was exactly the way I wanted. The vegan banana chocolate bread turned out to be extremely moist and rich with flavors.

To make my Banana Bread healthy, I replaced all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour. I didn’t use any dairy product for my recipe. So people who are allergic to dairy products can happily try this and enjoy it.

Refined sugar has been replaced with Jaggery. Instead of using butter, I have used the least amount of flavorless oil. To enhance the taste, I have added cinnamon to it.

So let’s have a look into my recipe or can say my secret recipe (which is no longer a secret now).
