I love this recipe. This combination is an experimented version that I made one day with my school chum Alex. This original recipe comes from a family recipe that required eggs. The use of the eggs allows a bit of experimentation for replacing it with combinations of applesauce, banana, or even egg replacer. For this version we're going to cut into it with a bit more banana to have a thicker loaf. Use your discretion and even play around with the applesauce/banana content on your own to make your own version!
We found the best way to enjoy the loaf was with my new favourite non-alcoholic treat! Hall's Apple Farm from just outside of Ottawa creates beautiful ciders, including beautiful sparkling ciders! We enjoyed our loaf with a lovely mulled cider. They participate during the in-season farmer's markets and have an all-season store at their location in Brockville. http://www.hallsapplemarket.com/
Choc Chip Banana Bread with Coconut
1/2 cup soy/vegan margarine
1 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 cup dry sweetener
2 cups mashed banana
3 Tbsp apple sauce
2 cups unbleached flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
6 oz dairy-free choc bits/chips
*1/3 cup coconut flakes
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Cream together the margarine, extract, and sugar until fluffy and light.
3. Beat in 1 cup of banana and the applesauce.
4. Sift together the dry ingrediants (not chocolate)
5. Blend in (portions at a time) dry ingredients with the mixture alternating and adding in portions of the last cup of mashed banana.
6. If at this point the end batter does not seem thick enough add small amounts of flour to compensate, similarly if it seems too thick add a bit of water, or slightly more applesauce.
7. Stir in chocolate and optional coconut. Add to greased and floured loaf pan (or non-stick).
8. Bake at 350 degrees on middle rack for approximately 50 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
