Chocolate banana bread (vegan + recipe)

in #food7 years ago (edited)

Chocolate banana bread with cashew nuts and lemon zest. Delicious and refreshing- probably my best one so far. There are many variations of banana bread online. Each one is a bit different. It's so easy cake to make and you will never get bored. I enjoy to change every time the recipe and so far so good. I am really happy with the result and Herman too (the little bastard couldn't resist and had a bit of a slice)🐭

  • 3 bananas + 1 on the top
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup

  • 1 cup flour mix (spelt, coconut and buckwheat)
  • 3 tsp raw cocoa powder

  • 60g crushed cashew nuts
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda

Looks great, especially with the bananas on the top, nice idea!

Banana and chocolate are a great combo. Love the sliced bananas on top!

Oh yes, this looks amazing! I love the banana on top, I'd say it's super sweet. 😋😋😋

Thank you very much my dear!

This looks absolutely delicious!

Thanks I am glad you like it:)

I don't think I've ever added citrus to my banana bread! That sounds like it would make a delicious addition!

Actually I wanted to add orange instead of lemon but I only had lemon at home. It worked really good!

Love those happy accidents!

Der sieht so saftig und lecker aus Waldermar!!! Yumm!

Danke Dir Niina, ja diesmal ist es richtig gut geworden.
