Vegan and Gluten-free Banana Bread

Easy, one bowl Vegan and Gluten-free Banana Bread full of chocolate chips. Because everything is better with chocolate, right?

I use 3 different flours in this cake, gives it wonderful textures and flavors. I love adding almond meal in cakes and cookies. Keeps the cake moist and the texture and flavor is amazing. I also really like using oats, healthier then normal flour and adds great texture. Make sure to use certified gluten-free oats for a gluten-free cake. I use quick cooking oats because they have a finer texture. If you can’t find it or prefer normal oats, that works as well.

Ingredients you will need to make this Vegan and Gluten-free Banana Bread:

• Chia seeds, they are high in fiber, antioxidants and protein. Also acts as a stabiliser to hold this banana bread together.
• Almond milk, my favorite milk to bake with! But feel free to use any kind of milk you have available.
• Quick cooking oats, make sure you use a certified gluten-free brand to keep this banana bread gluten-free
• Bananas, very ripe, the riper the better. They are sweeter and have a smoother texture
• Coconut oil, melted
• Coconut sugar, it has a slight caramel flavour that goes so well in this bread. You can also substitute with brown sugar.
• Maple syrup, agave syrup or other liquid sweetener can also be used.
• Almond flour, almond meal can also be used for a little courser texture make sure that it is gluten-free
• Gluten free flour, use your favourite brand
• Baking powder
• Cinnamon 
• pinch of salt, I always add a little salt to everything sweet. It really brings out the flavours
• Chocolate chips, I like to use a good quality dark chocolate chips. Use a vegan brand if you want to keep this banana bread vegan.
