Eggless Chocolate Banana Bread

Moist, extremely delicious eggless chocolate banana bread – all you need is a single bowl and this gorgeous cake gets done very quickly! A step by step picture recipe for this delicious whole wheat, almost vegan chocolate banana bread.

At the beginning of the year, I had posted the recipe for a moist banana bread recipe that requires very few ingredients, yields a perfect loaf that is so magical that it is almost fail-proof. By method, it is vegan – uses no milk or milk products and yet, it is very moist thanks to the bananas. I have since made that banana bread many times! Recently I wanted to slightly change the recipe and ended up making this eggless chocolate banana bread.

This recipe for eggless chocolate banana bread uses less oil, less sugar than the original one. I have been getting queries on the banana bread recipe and what if we don’t add any sugar at all or how to make a diabetic friendly one . I am not qualified to be making any claims, as I am not professionally trained but in my opinion even if the bread just uses bananas and no sugar at all – I don’t think it is diabetic friendly. That said, anyone should be able to enjoy a small slice of this eggless chocolate banana bread without having too much guilt and that’s what this is all about.

I love this recipe so much that I always have frozen bananas in my freezer and at moment’s notice I could thaw them and whip up this deliciousness. More than anything, the fact that it is so easy to make it and that it stores well is why this recipe for eggless chocolate banana bread is a winner for me. I have made it with just ¼^th cup of organic sugar (which is lesser sweet than the refined sugar) and then again with ⅓^rd cup – both versions turn out great. If you are serving this with coffee/tea, the lesser sweet version is my choice. While serving it to kids, drizzle some chocolate sauce!
