Vegan Caffè Mocha Banana Bread:
· 3 large or 4 medium bananas, ripe/overripe
· 4 tbsp. coconut oil, melted
· 4 tbsp. maple syrup
· 4 tbsp. ground flax
· 1 ¼ cups flour
· 1 tsp. baking soda
· ¼ tsp. salt
· 1 tsp. cinnamon
· FP
· 1/4 cup milk of choice
· 1/2 cup brewed coffee
· Dark chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350 degree F, & line a loaf tin with parchment paper. To a cup or bowl, add the ground flaxseed and brewed coffee, mix, & set aside to thicken for ~5 minutes.
In a medium to large bowl, mash bananas into a thick paste, then mix in all wet ingredients (except the milk). Once combined, add in all dry ingredients (except the cocoa) & mix well. Separate the mixture equally into two bowls, adding the cocoa powder & milk into one, & dark chocolate chips into the other. Layer each mixture by the spoonful into a lined loaf tin (give a swirl on top if you’d like!), & top with chocolate chips.
For a slightly gooey & soft bread, bake for 40-45 minutes. For a denser & cakier loaf, bake for 45-50 minutes. Once baked to desired consistency, let cool in the pan for ~20 minutes, then remove from tin & let cool for an additional ~20 minutes. Slice, serve, & enjoy!
