Chocolate Chip Vegan Banana Bread

Ingredients

• 1 cup turbinado sugar
• 1/2 cup non-hydrogenated dairy-free margarine (such as Earth Balance)
• 2 very ripe bananas, mashed
• 1/2 cup So Delicious® Dairy Free Unsweetened Vanilla Coconut Milk Beverage
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon coconut extract
• 3 teaspoon Egg Replacer mixed with 4 tablespoons warm water
• 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
• 1 cup unbleached white flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup semi-sweet or dark dairy-free chocolate chips  

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a an 8×4-inch or 9×5-inch loaf pan with a little non-hydrogenated dairy-free margarine or nonstick spray, and set aside.
2. In a large bowl cream together the sugar and margarine. Add the mashed bananas, and mix again, just enough to incorporate them together. Add the coconut milk beverage, vanilla, coconut extract, and egg replacer mixture, and blend together.
3. In a separate bowl whisk together the flours, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in your mixing bow, stir in chocolate chips, and continue to mix while scraping down sides of the bowl, just until fully incorporated. (Be careful not to over-mix.)
5. Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan, and bake for 60 to 75 minutes, or until the top is golden brown. The banana bread will get dark on top but will stay moist inside.
6. Let the bread cool for 30 minutes, then cut, and serve.
