Step 1

You can watch the short video for visual instructions.Preheat the oven to 360 degrees F (180 degrees C) and line an 8-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

Add all dry ingredients (except the chocolate) to a large bowl and mix with a spoon.

Step 3

In a different bowl, mash the bananas really well (e.g. with a fork).

Step 4

Add the vanilla extract, vinegar, dates, and plant-based milk and stir well.

Step 5

Transfer the wet to the dry ingredients and stir to combine.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the baking pan and optionally add the chocolate on top.

Step 7

Bake the banana bread in the oven for about 45 minutes. Check the center with a toothpick- if it comes out dry or slightly sticky/crumbly, that's fine, just not wet.

Step 8

Let the banana bread cool, slice it, and enjoy (optionally with a vegan chocolate spread)!
