Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Spray a 9x5 inch loaf pan with non-stick spray and cut out parchment paper to line the bottom.

2. 2

   Sift the flour into a mixing bowl and add the white granulated sugar, light brown sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg and mix together.

3. 3

   Measure the correct amount of banana and add it to your blender jug along with the soy milk and coconut oil. Blend until just blended.

4. 4

   Prepare your flax egg by mixing 1 Tablespoon ground flaxseed with 3 Tablespoons Hot Water and allowing to sit for a minute until it becomes gloopy.

5. 5

   Pour the blended banana mix over the dry ingredients and add the flax egg and mix into a thick batter.

6. 6

   Add the vegan chocolate chips and fold them in.

7. 7

   Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly. Sprinkle vegan chocolate chips on top.

8. 8

   Place into the oven and bake for 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (melted chocolate is fine, wet batter is not).

9. 9

   Let it cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire cooling rack to cool.
