Prep Time 10 minutes mins

Total Time 1 hour hr 10 minutes mins

Servings 8

Ingredients

 

1x2x3x

• ½ cup of your favorite dairy free milk
• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
• ½ cup sugar
• ⅓ cup vegan margarine Earth Balance, softened
• 2 cups whole wheat flour white or gluten free will work too
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• 3 mashed very ripe bananas
• ½ cup dairy free chocolate chips I used these.
• ½ cup sweetened flake coconut

Instructions

 

• In a small cup, mix your milk and the vinegar together. Let it sit for 5 minutes while you follow the rest of the preparations, so that the milk curdles a bit.
• Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease your loaf pan, and set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, mix together your margarine and sugar until well combined and smooth. To that mixture, add your flour, baking powder, and baking soda.Give it a good mixing with a fork to combine it well.
• Next, add your bananas, milk, vanilla, and ¼ cup coconut. Mix well until smooth. Gently fold in ¼ cup of the chocolate chips.
• Scoop the mixture into your prepared loaf pan, and top with the remaining chips and coconut. Press the chips and coconut down a bit to help them stick.
• If you’re baking in a glass loaf pan, you’ll want to bake the loaf for about 50 mins. A tin pan will take 5 or 10 minutes less, so keep an eye on it and be sure to test the middle to confirm that it’s done. Let it rest on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then try not to eat the whole loaf!
