Healthy Chocolate Banana Cake with Chocolate Chips and Sea Salt

When it’s a virus isolation. Make Banana Bread.

This is at least what the whole world seems to do now when people are staying home - at least more than usual. Because banana bread, or cake, is soft, fluffy, comfort food and totally delicious.! You just need to cut a slice and dig in. Banan cake is usually made with cinnamon, but today I'm going to give you a fantastic chocolate recipe made with chocolate chips and just a little bit of sea salt. It's truly perfection!

Ripped Brown bananas?

Yes, when making this recipe we want to use as sweet and soft bananas as possible (but which still are edible). What bananas do we use? We use the ripped bananas which possibly are even a little bit brown on the outside. It’s totally fine to use these bananas, so don’t get afraid and possibly throw them away. For almost all recipes where we mash the bananas (banana bread, banan pancakes, nice cream, smoothies etc) we want these bananas. They’re so good, and when taking advantage of these bananas instead of throwing them away, we also decrease the food waste.

What if I’m a nut allergic?

If you are a nut allergic, you skip the nut flour and just add 1 dl extra flour instead. Simple but yet so delicious!

But this bread is healthy? Vegan? AND Gluten Free?

YES, this bread is healthy (meaning we don’t use any refined sugar and, I’d say, healthy ingredients), totally without any animalistic products meaning it’s vegan, but also gluten free. Yet, this recipe is so soft and fluffy. I love this sooooo much!! If you aren’t gluten intolerant though, you don’t need to use gluten free flour. You can use plain wheat flour instead too.

1 loaf

INGREDIENTS:

3,5 dl gluten free flour*

1 dl hazelnut or almond flour

2 tbsp cacao

1,2 dl (approx 110 g) stevia powder

1 tsp baking powder

a pinch of real vanilla

a pinch of sea salt

2,5 big ripped bananas (approx 300 g)

1 dl oat milk (not light)

0,75 dl vegetable oil

1 dl chocolate chip cookies

HOW TO MAKE:

• Preheat oven to 180 degrees C. Grease a bread loaf pan with vegan butter, coconut oil or oil.

• Place all dry ingredients in a bowl and stir together.

• Mash the bananas to a pure. Add the banana pure, oil, milk and vinegar to the flour-mixture and combine everything quickly in big takes, but don't over-do it.

• At last, add the chocolate chips and just combine it in a few big takes.

• If you want to, garnish with a banana cut in halves length wise and/or only chocolate chips and a pinch of extra sea salt.

• Bake in the oven for approx 50-60 minutes. Insert a toothpick and see if it comes out dry. Then the cake is done and let it cool completely before digging in.

NOTES:

• If you aren’t gluten intolerant, you don’t need to use gluten free flour. You can use plain wheat flour instead.
