Ingredients
- 3 Bananas
- 140 g Brown Sugar (2/3 US Cup)
- 75 g Plant Based Butter (unsalted) (1/3 Cup)
- 100 g Apple Sauce (1/2 US Cup)
- 60 ml Plant Based Milk
- 240 g All Purpose Flour (2 US Cups)
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 50 g Vegan Chocolate Chips (Just over 1/4 US Cup)
- Brown Sugar for topping
Instructions
- Gather all equipment and ingredients, ensuring that the milk and butter are at room temperature before starting to make the batter.
- Mash 3 Bananas in a mixing bowl then add 100 g Apple Sauce, 75 g Plant Based Butter (unsalted) and 60 ml Plant Based Milk, Stir to combine.
- Add in the 140 g Brown Sugar, 240 g All Purpose Flour, 1 tsp Baking Powder and 0.5 tsp Salt then mix until everything is incorporated. Finally fold in 50 g Vegan Chocolate Chips.
- Spray oil in each of the 6 mini loaf pan cavities then evenly distribute the batter. Add a sprinkling of Brown Sugar for topping.
- Bake at 350°F/ 175°C for 25 minutes until well risen and lightly golden. The cakes are ready when they come away from the sides of the pan and a toothpick comes out clean when testing for doneness.
- Allow to cool, remove from the pan and serve immediately. Top tip - these are also great sliced in half with jam or butter added to them.

Notes
- Yield: This recipe makes 6 mini loaf cakes. You can also make one large loaf cake with the same quantity of batter.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Freezer: Individually wrap the loaves and freeze them in an airtight container. Allow to defrost at room temperature before unwrapping.
- Gluten-Free: For a gluten free option, swap out the all purpose flour for a gluten free baking blend. I highly recommend Bob's Red Mill 1-to-1 Baking Flour.
