My Favourite Easy Vegan Banana Bread Recipe!

July 29, 2016 by Nick Joly 1 Comment

vegan banana bread recipe

I’VE JUMPED ON THE VEGAN BANDWAGON!

KIDDING! Well, kind of. But I DO have an awesome, super easy vegan banana bread recipe for you, that I made myself! I actually picked up the recipe from a friend of mine that I was supposed to bake this with, but since we haven’t had the chance to connect over the last few weeks, because get this; their new TV show is about to launch on Bell Fibe TV on August 2nd! (check it out here). I decided to take a stab at my first vegan recipe all by myself! And not to toot my own horn, but it was damn good!

I’ve got a delicious vegan banana bread recipe for you, with vegan chocolate chips, too!

Before I share all of the scrumptious ingredients and the how-to on making YOUR OWN vegan banana bread, a note on veganism. A lot of my friends know that I was a vegetarian for a year and I gave up because I hated having that “never again” label in my mind when it came to foods and meals that I loved, but had meat. After trying out a few new vegan recipes recently (some I actually really loved were from YamChops!), I think back to when I struggled as a vegetarian because I ended up almost exclusively eating lentils. But if I had an arsenal of awesome vegan recipes like this one, and more specifically for full vegan meals like I received from YamChops this week, I think it would have made the process THAT much easier.

Vegans generally take a lot of heat from society. When really, all their doing is making a conscious decision not to eat animals or animal by-products. I personally don’t see anything wrong with that whatsoever, and after having personally tried some truly awesome vegan recipes (like some Mont Blanc tartlets to name another one!), I MIGHT be slowly hopping on that vegan bandwagon. The more recipes I share, the more you’ll have to let me know if you enjoy them! For now, a delicious vegan banana bread recipe for you!

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 ripe bananas
  • 1 cup canned coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup of canola/safflower oil
  • 2 tsp white or apple cider vinegar
  • t tbsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups of all purpose flour
  • 1/2 brown sugar
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp cloves
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 cup of dairy-free semi-sweet chocolate chips

RECIPE

  • Preheat oven to 350. Grease a bundt pan (I use coconut oil for this).
  • Mash 2 very ripe bananas.
  • In a medium bowl, mix 1 cup canned coconut milk (shaken or stirred!), 1/2 cup canola or safflower oil, 2 tsp white or apple cider vinegar, 1 tbsp vanilla extract and mashed bananas.
  • In a larger bowl sift 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp EACH ground nutmeg/cloves/ginger, 1 tsp ground cinnamon.
  • Pour wet mixture into dry slowly, blending until just combined. Don’t overblend or it will turn the texture gummy!
  • Fold in 1 cup dark chocolate chips. Pour into bundt pan and bake 45-50 minutes, turning halfway to ensure even cooking.
  • Let cool before popping out of the bundt pan.

    Hey Nick, thanks for the shout-out and SO glad you like the recipe! When I became vegan I worried that I’d have to give up baked goodness but I’ve become a better baker than I ever was before. Looking forward to getting together to do some vegan cooking with wine pairings soon!

Grocery shopping but 'leveled up' 💁🏻‍♂️🍄 y’all know that food shopping is basically my favourite hobby 😂. Over the past few weeks, I’ve told you about #MyHealthMyChoices by @MetroOntario and now I’m gonna show you just how easy it is to sort and find foods you love, while fitting within your dietary needs.

I always start in produce (naturally) and then jump straight to organic aisles for my fav snacks. Using the green labels in-store, I can identify (at a quick glance) which products are plant-based, vegan, or gluten-free. The My Health, My Choices program also allows me to scan product barcodes using the MyMetro app and search for exactly what I need, taking the whole experience to the next level 🙌🏼 ➡️ Swipe to see my shopping experience and what items I picked up at my local Metro. #Sponsored #MyMetro #Inspiredbynick
we’ve moved into our home 🏡 and we’re still we’ve moved into our home 🏡 and we’re still taking time to settle in. there are some projects we wanna get done asap but can’t due to lockdown, so we’re just gonna go with the flow and enjoy the ride together 👬🏻 ps, that photo is from 9 years ago on one of our first dates
When you’re craving a burger but you also want a When you’re craving a burger but you also want a #meatless option 🙌🏼🍔 Organic Black Bean Fiesta Burgers made by yours truly 🍔💁🏻‍♂️when I was vegan I really had to get creative with a lot of my recipes, otherwise I’d be eating the same old bean salad every day… and bean salad doesn’t really taste like a burger when you’re craving a burger! Even though I’m not fully vegan anymore, I do still like to swap out meat as much as possible with other #plantbased options because that’s what works for me! 
With @metroontario's new program, MyHealth, MyChoices finding products that suit your dietary needs and lifestyles couldn't be easier. With almost 9,000 products labelled with nearly 50 different attributes like plant-based, fat-free, non-GMO, etc., you can easily find what works for you. So for this recipe, I looked for the green labels in-store, found the perfect Irresistibles organic black beans and extra virgin olive oil and whipped up a batch of patties that my heartmate and I devoured! (Tip: they also freeze well)! The recipe for them is on my blog (link in bio) and on Metro’s Instagram page and website! Hope you enjoy these if you decide to make them! #inspiredbynick  #MyHealthMyChoices #mymetro #sponsored

At-home yoga for the winnn! 🧘🏻‍♂️🌿✨ because even though supporting my local yoga studio looks different now than in the past (classes are all online or through their app), I can still feel good about being a paying member and doing a small part to #supportlocal. 
-
I am not THE poster child for supporting local, that’s just the truth, but I do what I can, where I can. Honestly, I do miss being in the hot studio where after a class I would be drenched and feeling so accomplished, ironically though, I’m surprisingly still drenched after a 90 min class at home, more so than I thought I would be! So I still feel good about getting my workout in, even if it’s different than being there in person. 
- 
Anyone who does yoga regularly like me knows a wet bag is essential after a good flow. The team at @forwardwithdesign have this awesome bag (I link to it in my stories) that I love--it’s super practical and I love the cute print! While I’m not getting as much use out of it as I’d like right now, it will definitely be coming with me to the studio when some of our restrictions lift and small businesses open up again!!
