If you love banana bread, this dairy free Coconut Bread is going to knock your socks off. I had some very ripe bananas that needed using, but I wanted something different than your average banana loaf this time. I’ve been on a bit of a coconut kick lately, so I decided to throw some in with a handful of chocolate chips. Wow. The result was pretty dang tasty! If you wanted to kick this up even ANOTHER notch, you could top it off with a dairy free sugar glaze, a scoop of your favorite milk free ice cream, or some vegan chocolate sauce and a few chopped nuts. Whether plain for breakfast or dressed up for dessert, this banana bread will not disappoint!
Dairy Free Coconut Chocolate Chip Banana Bread
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup of your favorite dairy free milk
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup vegan margarine Earth Balance, softened
- 2 cups whole wheat flour white or gluten free will work too
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 3 mashed very ripe bananas
- 1/2 cup dairy free chocolate chips I used these.
- 1/2 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 1/4 cup coconut. Mix well until smooth. Gently fold in 1/4 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!
