Instructies
- Preheat the oven to 350 °F (180 °C). Line a 9-inch x 5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper. Slightly oil the paper and pan with oil spray or coconut oil. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until almost no lumps show. Measure 1 cup + 1/2 cup of mashed bananas – if extra, freeze for later.
- Stir the yogurt, oil, almond milk, vanilla extract, and sugar, and salt. Set aside.
- In another bowl, whisk flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon.
- Fold in the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir with a rubber spatula until the batter is consistent.
- Fold in chocolate chips if desired, stir to evenly incorporate.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake it for 55-60 minutes at 350 °F (180 °C). Foil the pan after 30 minutes to prevent the banana bread from browning too fast. Insert a long pick in the center to the bottom of the pan to check if it's ready. Of it comes out clean, remove the pan from the oven.
- Let it cool down on a wire rack for 3 hours or overnight before slicing.
- Garneer eventueel met een beetje gesmolten pure chocolade en extra verse pindakaas.

Ingrediënten en vervangingen
You only need a handful of wholesome ingredients for this recipe, here’s how to pick them.

- Gepureerde rijpe bananen – They provide sweetness, moisture, and binding in the bread. Ripe bananas are crucial for optimal sweetness and texture. Don’t use green bananas.
- Zuivelvrije yoghurt – For moisture and tanginess. You can use any type of dairy-free yogurt, from coconut yogurt to soy yogurt or cashew yogurt. Alternatives include peanut butter, almond butter, or tahini for added protein and flavor variations.
- Lichte olijfolie – Contributes to moisture and tenderness. You can also use melted coconut oil or canola oil.
- Ongezoete amandelmelk – To add moisture and help to create a smooth batter. You can use oat milk, soy milk, or dairy milk if desired.
- Vanille-extract – Voor de smaak.
- Bruine suiker – To sweeten the bread. You can also use sugar or coconut sugar for a refined sugar-free option.
- Meel voor alle doeleinden – To provide structure to the bread. For a gluten-free version, use my Omrekeningsgids voor glutenvrije producten.
- Ongezoet cacaopoeder – For a rich chocolate flavor. You can also use cacao powder. Prefer high-quality brands (I like Belgian chocolate).
- Bakpoeder en Bakpoeder – To help the bread rise.
- Zuivelvrije pure chocoladechips – It’s optional for pockets of melty chocolate. You can also add in any crushed nuts if you prefer.

Carine's baktips
Ik deel graag nog een paar tips voor het perfecte brood.
- Notenboter als alternatief – Replace dairy-free yogurt with nut or seed butters like almond butter, tahini, or peanut butter for different flavors.
- Crunchy Nut Addition – You can substitute the chocolate chips with chopped walnuts or pecans for added texture and healthy fats.
- Flour Choice Matters – Avoid almond flour, as they won’t make the desired texture in this recipe.
- Refined Sugar Alternatives – Use coconut sugar, date sugar, or unrefined cane sugar as refined sugar-free options, but avoid liquid sweeteners like maple syrup as it would make the batter too moist.
- Ripe Banana Importance – Ensure bananas have black spots for perfect sweetness and moisture.
- Cooling Time Essential – Allow the bread to cool for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight, before slicing for best texture.
- Foil For Browning – Foil the loaf pan after 30 minutes to prevent over-browning.
- Check Doneness Thoroughly – Use a long pick to check the center of the bread; it should come out clean.
- Yogurt Alternate Protein – Nut or seed butters add protein to the bread.
- Freezing For Later – Freeze extra mashed banana for future recipes.







This is fantastic!. We are struggling with Gluten and lactose and really gave up on cakes and breads etc. This is so easy to make and really tasty. Thank you so much for your recipies.
Heel erg bedankt!
Hi, how much cinnamon?
Hi if replacing yogurt with almond butter how much would you use? Many thanks
I would use the same amount.
Sorry about that! I added 1 teaspoon and updated the recipe for you. It’s optional, but I really like the taste it adds with chocolate and bananas.
Amazing recipe. this one has become my family favourite. I added walnuts to it. Tasted divine. Thanks.
Hartelijk bedankt voor de fijne feedback!
Great recipe! I added the chocolate chips and walnuts and it came out great. Thank you!
That’s amazing ! Thank you for baking my recipes.
Looks delicious can’t wait to make it
how would you adjust the baking time if you wanted to use a muffin tin instead of a loaf pan?
In a muffin pan, it should take between 25-30 minutes to bake.
Can i use regular greek yogurt?
Tuurlijk!
