How to make Eggless banana chocolate loaf
- Pre-heat the oven at 180°C (360°F).
- Grease a 150 mm. (6") x 87 mm. (3½ ") loaf tin with butter and dust with refined flour.
- Combine the warm milk and lemon juice in a bowl, mix well and keep aside for 10 minutes. This mixture helps in binding the batter together.
- First of all we will combine all the dry ingredients for that, take the plain flour in a deep bowl.
- Add the cocoa powder. The chocolaty flavour is due to the addition of cocoa powder.
- Add the castor sugar. Caster sugar is nothing but finely granulated white sugar.
- Now add baking powder and add baking soda. Both baking powder and baking soda are leavening agents that cause the batter to rise making the eggless banana chocolate loaf fluffy.
- Mix well using a spoon. Keep aside.
- Take the mashed bananas in another deep bowl. Bananas make the loaf super moist & provide a rich dense flavor on baking. Ensure they are completely ripe. Use a fork to mash the bananas.
- Add the melted butter.
- Add the vanilla essence. It enhances all the other flavors in the eggless loaf recipe.
- Now add the prepared milk-lemon juice mixture and mix well using a spatula. Keep aside.
- Gradually add the plain flour-cocoa powder mixture to the banana mixture and fold it using a spatula.
- The batter is mixed and ready. It is very important to mix it using the cut and fold method. Folding traps extra air in the batter and breaks up existing air bubbles into smaller ones which results into a lighter batter.
- Add the chopped dark chocolate to make the loaf chocolatier. Make sure you have the best quality ingredients while making baked goodies.
- Add the walnuts and mix gently. They give a nice crunch to the Banana Chocolate loaf on baking.
- Pour the batter into a greased and dusted 150 mm. (6") x 87 mm. (3½ ") loaf tin.
- Spread the batter nicely using a spatula.
- Pat the tin lightly so that the batter spreads evenly.
- Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over it. You can also sprinkle some chopped walnuts if you like.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (360°F) for 50 to 55 minutes. To check whether the loaf is baked properly or no, insert a toothpick or a knife into the center of the loaf. If it comes out clean then it is cooked completely. You might have some melted chocolate chips which is fine but, don’t be fooled because of it and overbake the loaf.
- Cool it, loosen the edges using a knife and demould it by inverting the tin over a rack and tap gently to unmould the loaf.
- Cut into thick slices and serve immediately.
- You can even store in an air-tight container and use it later. Also, you can wrap freshly baked chocolate banana bread in a cling wrap or aluminum foil before placing it in the refrigerator and increase its shelf life to 3-4 days.
