Ingredients

• 0.75 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal

• 0.75 cup dairy-free chocolate chips
• 0.25 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with coconut oil or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the flaxseed meal and water to create a flax egg. Stir well and let it sit for about 5 minutes to thicken.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas using a fork or a potato masher until smooth.

Step 4

Add the coconut oil, brown sugar, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Mix well until everything is thoroughly combined.

Step 5

Stir in the prepared flax egg.

Step 6

In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.

Step 7

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 8

In a small bowl, combine the almond milk and apple cider vinegar to make a dairy-free buttermilk substitute.

Step 9

Pour the almond milk mixture into the batter, stirring until the batter is smooth.

Step 10

Fold in the dairy-free chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 11

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 13

Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
