Chocolate peanut butter banana loaf (vegan, oil-free, one-bowl)
This secretly healthy vegan dessert recipe combines chocolate, peanut butter, and banana into a delicious loaf cake.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour | 120g
- 4 tbsp cocoa powder | 20g
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter | 64g; or other nut / seed butter
- 1/3 cup sugar | 64g; I used pure cane sugar
- 2 mashed ripe bananas
- 1/4 cup plant-based milk | 60g
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F / 180C. Grease or line a loaf pan of your choice; I used a 20 x 6 cm loaf pan. (See below for notes on loaf pan size.)
- In a large bowl, combine the wet ingredients: peanut butter, sugar, bananas, and milk.
- Sift in all the remaining ingredients, then fold to combine with a spatula until no lumps of flour remain; do not overmix. .
- Pour the batter into the loaf tin and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until an inserted knife comes out clean.
Notes
I used a small loaf pan for this recipe. For an 8 x 4 (or 9 x 5) inch loaf pan, use double the ingredients.
