(Mostly) Vegan Dark Chocolate Chunk Banana Bread

Hello everyone! Sorry about my looong absence from Tastyface! Over the last little while I have just been wrapping up my summer at home and getting re-settled in my East Coast college world.

Luckily, I have a kitchen in my dorm room this year (hallelujah!), so I have begun to phase out my eating out all the time while I am here, and phase in cooking myself delicious food so that I will be a good independent human being some day.

Yesterday afternoon I did my first baking in the room and decided to use some rapidly ripening bananas to make some banana bread WITH dark chocolate pieces!!! It is a pretty easy recipe that was pretty close to vegan to begin with...and I would have completed the vegan-ness had I purchased egg replacer but alas I had none. BUT you can make it vegan! Or just use a cage-free egg like I did to ease your conscience.

Mostly Vegan Dark Chocolate Banana Bread

Based off of Butter, Sugar, Flour's Banana Chocolate Bread

Ingredients:

1 cup flour

1.25 teaspoons baking powder

pinch of salt

1 half bar of dark chocolate, broken apart into chunks

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup sugar

1 egg (or your favorite egg replacer equivalent)

2 ripe bananas, mashed

1. Preheat oven to 390 degrees Fahrenheit (It was 200 degees Celsius, which works out kind of strangely in F--but this temperature actually ended up being perfect). Grease and line a loaf tin and set aside.
2. In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder and salt.
3. In a larger bowl, mix together the eggs, sugar, vanilla and banana. Stir through the chocolate.
4. Combine the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown and a fork/toothpick/thin object inserted in the center comes out clean.
6. Let cool for a couple minutes and dig in. So delicious!

Thanks for the awesome recipe Butter, Sugar, Flour! :)
