Indulgent Chocolate & Coconut Banana Loaf
Nadia Shahanaz
If you like your banana load gooey, decadent and indulgent enough to have as a pudding then this is for you. Feel free to tweak the recipe, in fact, I encourage you to! Add in some walnuts, seeds or even coconut flakes or desiccated coconut to the mixture to switch it up, dependant on the occasion.
Prep Time 15 mins
Cook Time 35 mins
Servings 10 slices/servings
- 50 g butter
- 70 g dark brown sugar
- 30 g caster sugar
- 60 ml oat milk (any plant-based or regular milk will do)
- 100 g coconut oil (melted)
- 3 ripe bananas (mashed)
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 50 g oat flour
- 125 g self-raising flour
- 100 g dark chocolate (cut up into chunks)
Preheat the oven to 180oC and line a loaf tin with baking paper. I use a standard 2lb loaf tin and parchment loaf liner.
Cream the butter and sugars together in one bowl. In another bowl mash up the bananas, add in the milk, melted coconut oil and maple syrup and mix together. Then combine the two mixtures together.
Once combined and mixed add in your two flours - oat flour and self-raising flour. Stir well and then add in the cut up dark chocolate.
Pop in your lined loaf tin. Tap to ensure the batter is spread out and then sprinkle the top with some brown sugar and coconut flakes. If you don’t have coconut flake then you could also slice some bananas and then sprinkle with brown sugar.
Bake for 35 minutes and ensure the centre is firm to touch.
Allow to cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before cutting and serving.
