Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Rest time approx. 30 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 40 minutes; Total time approx. 1 hour 40 minutes

Preheat the oven to 180°C (top/bottom heat) or 160°C (fan oven) and grease a 23 x 10 cm loaf pan. For the flaxseed egg, mix 2 tablespoons of ground flaxseed with 6 tablespoons of water and let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes until it forms a gel-like consistency. In a bowl, combine the date sugar or date paste with the flaxseed egg until creamy. Add the neutral oil and applesauce and mix well. Peel the bananas and mash them with a fork. Add the mashed bananas, wheat flour, baking powder, and cinnamon powder to the batter and mix well. Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and mix it into the batter. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth it out. Bake the banana bread in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes. After baking, let the banana bread cool on a wire rack for about 30 minutes and then turn it out of the pan. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and cocoa powder, if desired. Tip: You can substitute oil and applesauce for each other.
