CHUNKY MONKEY BEST VEGAN CHOCOLATE CHIP BANANA BREAD RECIPE - (4.3/5)



Chunky Monkey Best Vegan Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by á-49368

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups all-purpose unbleached white flour
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
dash salt (optional)
3 medium very ripe bananas
juice of 1/2 lemon
1/2 cup coconut oil
1 cup vegan chocolate chips/chunks

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. 2. In a big bowl, combine all dry ingredients and sift well with a fork or a whisk. In a medium bowl, mash the bananas, leaving some small chunky bits. Add the oil and lemon juice to the bananas, and combine well. 3. Add the wet ingredients and the chocolate chips to the big bowl with the dry ingredients, and combine well until just mixed. (Don't overmix-when in doubt, just stop, since it's better that two chocolate chips are touching than that your loaf is tough). 4. Pour the batter into a loaf pan or 2 mini loaf pans. Bake for 45-50 minutes (big loaf) or 25 minutes (small loaf). Since heat varies by the oven, you should check the loaves using the toothpick method. When it's golden on top and toothpick comes out clean, it's done. Enjoy!

CHUNKY MONKEY ICE CREAM BANANA BREAD

Yield 1 big loaf

Number Of Ingredients 6

• 2 pints Ben & Jerry's Chunky Monkey ice cream, softened or melted
• 3 cups (375g) self-rising flour (or 360g AP flour + 1 tablespoon baking powder + 1 1/2 teaspoons salt)
Optional mix-ins:
• 1 very ripe banana, chopped
• 1 very delicious chocolate bar (I chose bittersweet), chopped
• Handful of walnuts, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350F (180C) Grease and flour bread pan, or line with parchment paper. Mix melted ice cream and flour until well combined. Add optional mix-ins. Pour into prepared bread pan. Bake for 1-1.5 hrs. This seems like a lot, but we've essentially made a double loaf in a single pan. If the top starts to brown too much, cover it with aluminum foil and continue to bake. Bread is done when a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean.

Tips:

  • Use fresh or ripe bananas for the best flavor. Overripe bananas will make the bread too mushy.
  • If you don't have a bundt pan, you can use a 9x13 inch baking pan. Just be sure to adjust the baking time accordingly.
  • If you want a sweeter bread, you can add an extra 1/2 cup of sugar to the batter.
  • For a more decadent bread, you can add a cup of chocolate chips or nuts to the batter.
  • Serve the bread warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Chunky monkey bread is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist and fluffy texture and sweet and decadent flavor, this bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give chunky monkey bread a try. You won't be disappointed!
