Cuisine: American
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 1 hour (loaf) or 12 to 15 minutes (muffins)
Total Time: 1 hour and 10 minutes or 22 to 25 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 cup gluten-free flour (I used gluten-free, whole-wheat flour)
• 1/2 cup baking cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3 - 4 overripe bananas
• 1/4 cup applesauce
• 1/4 cup oil (I used coconut oil)
• 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1 egg replacer (I used The Neat Egg, which is made of ground chickpeas and chia seeds)
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
• 1 cup dairy-free chocolate chips (I used Enjoy Life vegan chocolate chips)

Here's how to make it:

1. Combine flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt. Stir to combine.
2. In another bowl, add mashed banana, applesauce, oil, brown sugar, egg replacer, vanilla and 3/4 cup of the chocolate chips. Stir to combine.
3. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined.
4. Pour mixture into a greased loaf pan or muffin tins. Top with remaining 1/4 cup chocolate chips.
5. If making a loaf, bake in a preheated 350-degree F oven for about 1 hour, or until toothpick comes out clean. Do not over bake! Cool about 10 minutes then remove from pan. If making muffins, bake for 12 to 15 minutes.
