CHUNKY MONKEY BEST VEGAN CHOCOLATE CHIP BANANA BREAD RECIPE - (4.3/5)



Chunky Monkey Best Vegan Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by á-49368

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups all-purpose unbleached white flour
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
dash salt (optional)
3 medium very ripe bananas
juice of 1/2 lemon
1/2 cup coconut oil
1 cup vegan chocolate chips/chunks

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. 2. In a big bowl, combine all dry ingredients and sift well with a fork or a whisk. In a medium bowl, mash the bananas, leaving some small chunky bits. Add the oil and lemon juice to the bananas, and combine well. 3. Add the wet ingredients and the chocolate chips to the big bowl with the dry ingredients, and combine well until just mixed. (Don't overmix-when in doubt, just stop, since it's better that two chocolate chips are touching than that your loaf is tough). 4. Pour the batter into a loaf pan or 2 mini loaf pans. Bake for 45-50 minutes (big loaf) or 25 minutes (small loaf). Since heat varies by the oven, you should check the loaves using the toothpick method. When it's golden on top and toothpick comes out clean, it's done. Enjoy!

CHUNKY MONKEY ICE CREAM BANANA BREAD

Yield 1 big loaf

Number Of Ingredients 6

• 2 pints Ben & Jerry's Chunky Monkey ice cream, softened or melted
• 3 cups (375g) self-rising flour (or 360g AP flour + 1 tablespoon baking powder + 1 1/2 teaspoons salt)
Optional mix-ins:
• 1 very ripe banana, chopped
• 1 very delicious chocolate bar (I chose bittersweet), chopped
• Handful of walnuts, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350F (180C) Grease and flour bread pan, or line with parchment paper. Mix melted ice cream and flour until well combined. Add optional mix-ins. Pour into prepared bread pan. Bake for 1-1.5 hrs. This seems like a lot, but we've essentially made a double loaf in a single pan. If the top starts to brown too much, cover it with aluminum foil and continue to bake. Bread is done when a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your banana bread will be.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your banana bread tough.
  • Use a loaf pan that is at least 9x5 inches: A smaller loaf pan will make your banana bread too dense.
  • Bake the banana bread at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 50-60 minutes: A toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf should come out clean when it is done.
  • Let the banana bread cool completely before slicing: This will help it to hold together better.

Conclusion:

Chunky Monkey Banana Bread is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist and flavorful crumb, and its generous helping of chocolate chips, walnuts, and bananas, this bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you have a craving for something sweet, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
