Vegan Banana Bread Dessert Recipe
Ingredients:
* 4 large ripe bananas, mashed
* 1/2 cup vegan butter (such as Earth Balance), softened
* 1/2 cup granulated sugar
* 1/4 cup brown sugar
* 2 large eggs, replaced by 2 flax eggs*
* 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
* 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
* 1 teaspoon baking powder
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
* 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (at least 70% cocoa)
* 1 tablespoon maple syrup
* Confectioners' sugar, for dusting (optional)
Flax Eggs: Mix 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed with 3 tablespoons water in a small bowl. Let it sit for 5 minutes until it thickens and becomes gel-like.
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray or vegan butter.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the vegan butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
3. Add the mashed bananas, flax eggs, and vanilla extract to the mixing bowl. Mix until well combined.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
5. Fold in the chopped walnuts and dark chocolate chips, if using.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
7. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Once the loaf is cool, drizzle with maple syrup and dust with confectioners' sugar, if desired.
