Vegan GF Marbled Banana Bread

July 14, 2014 By Robyn 32 Comments

Happy Monday guys!
I’m guest posting over at the fabulous Hummuspian, one of my favorite blogging friends (and new RD!) while she romps around Europe! Head on over there to check out my favorite ways to snack and/or continue reading for my new favorite snack recipe!
On Friday evening a big group of us headed to Central Park to see the New York Philharmonic. We picnicked with good food and plenty of wine. And during intermission started a game of twister that other people in the park joined in on. And then they ended the concert with fireworks! It was super packed, but a perfect summer night that made my heart happy.

 

 

 

 

On Saturday, I slept in way later then planned since I was out later than I planned, had a Nutshell appointment and then jogged down to TJs for a victorious grocery trip. I was in and out in less than an hour AND managed to come in under $40. #winning

And I made another batch of this banana bread last night, it might be my favorite BB recipe to date!
Chocolately, slight sweet, perfectly moist and delightfully gooey.
Straight up baked good perfection in mah mouth.

I think the key here is definitely the oat flour. It gives baked goods a slightly sweet, nutty flavor and a dense gooeyness that I just adore. If you like bready, crumbly baked goods this might not be for you.
But if you’re like me and could dominate an entire loaf of gooey baked goodness, well…..read on.

Another key point, always use the blackest bananas you got. Not kinda spotted ones, but black bananas like the ones on the right, not the ones on the left. This gives the bread natural sweetness without having to use a ton of sugar. I’m all about some sugar when I eat dessert, but I’m not trying to down a tablespoon or two of sugar when I’m afternoon snacking.

Slather a slice of this with PB for an afternoon snack and ya mouth will be extra happy.

I made my first loaf of this last weekend when I had so many black bananas that I need to make about 3 loaves of BB. And I did, including this loaf, a carrot banana bread and a blueberry banana bread. Obviously, this was my absolute fav. I still have most of the other loaves still to eat but I had to have more of this chocolate marbled bread. So last night I blended up some oat flour and threw another batch together in about 10 minutes while scribbling down the recipe so I could share it with you guys!

Please forgive the horrid, dark photos. I hadn’t taken any pretty photos but didn’t want that to hold me back from sharing.

If you don’t have black bananas on hand, buy some today and let ’em rot. I swear bananas ripen in about 2 days in this hot, humid summer weather we’re having so you’ll be baking up a batch by the end of the week!

Chocolate Marbled Banana Bread [vegan + gf]
1 1/2 cups of oat flour [just blend GF oats in your food processor
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp sea salt
3 tablespoons cocoa powder
6 tablespoons boiling water
1 cup of mashed, super ripe banana
1/3 cup coconut palm sugar [or brown sugar or sucanat]
1/3 cup almond milk
2 tablespoons coconut oil
1 tsp pure vanilla extract

First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees and grease a 8×8 pan.

Except for the cocoa powder and boiling water, mix together all the dry ingredients in one bowl and all the wet ingredients in another bowl. Then combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients and gently stir until JUST combined.

Next, mix together your cocoa powder with 3 tablespoons boiling water. Then add about 1 cup of batter to the cocoa powder and gently stir to combine. Then add the other 3 tablespoons boiling water to the banana bread batter and gently stir.

For the marbling, pour in half the banana bread batter into the bottom of your pan. Then dollop half the chocolate batter, they pour on the other half of the banana batter followed by dollops of the rest of the chocolate batter. Then swipe a knife back in fourth a couple times through the batter to create the marbling.

Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Enjoy!

Women’s Reproductive Health 101

I have yet to experience postpartum myself, but I've had many clients and readers that have been through that season of life. Or perhaps you are currently living through the postpartum period. Every woman's body is different, therefore every woman's experience after giving birth will be different. What works for one woman, might not work for the next. While one woman might go through postpartum and adjust to newborn life quiet seamlessly, another woman might find it much more difficult. She might need the support of medication, therapy, extra help and many other things. One way is not better than the other - they are simply two different ways of navigating the postpartum period. I hope this post helps you better care for yourself, whatever that means for you. There's no right or wrong way to care for yourself as a mom or your new baby.

We had an AFTERNOON today. Toddler didn’t care f We had an AFTERNOON today. Toddler didn’t care for a nap. Putting baby down was harder than I wanted it to be. Miraculously, I had a moment of clarity as I was covered in tiny humans and decided I wasn’t doing the nap battle thing a on 60 degree, gorgeous, sunny spring day 🙅🏻‍♀️ so I piled both babies into the car half naked, opened the sun roof, put on white noise for them and an audio book for me and drank a kombucha as I drove a meal to a postpartum mama. Thirty five minutes later we had a sleeping baby and a toddler who at least had a rest. Baby transferred without waking HALLELUJAH and although my toddler didn’t nap today (lord help) at least we got soaked in breezy sunshine 😎🤘🏻💆🏻‍♀️
We veered from our usual Friday night homemade piz We veered from our usual Friday night homemade pizza (minus the dough, we leave that to @albemarlebakingco) because we are eating pizza tomorrow with some friends - instead I called my mom and asked her how she makes her chicken fingers and we fried up a big ole batch of chicken nugs 🙌🏻🤤 along with a sheet pan full of sweet potato fries and a simple arugula salad dressed with parmesean, olive oil and s&p. Oh and my moms honey mustard recipe for dipping. It’s SO DANG GOOD.  Over the past 6ish months we’ve been practicing (and practicing and practicing bc it doesn’t come naturally) unplugging from technology and slowing down and resting and just being for one day a week. Some call it Shabbat. Some call it Sabbath. Maybe you call it something different. All I know is IT IS SO GOOD FOR MY WEARY SOUL and the day I look forward to ALL WEEK. Sundown on Friday to sundown Saturday. Nothing but rest. For us that means hiking (or something outside) and napping and reading and being with friends and eating really good food. And drinking some really good wine or craft beer. Sometimes whiskey. 😛  And because I know I’ll get asked about the chicken finger recipe and also because it’s too good not to share and Momma Coale said I could, here ya go:  Cut chicken breast into thin strips or small pieces (I prefer nug size bc the breading to chicken ratio is perfection). Salt and pepper those babies really well. Then dredge them in all purpose flour, then egg, then panko - just like you would bread anything else. Then fry them up in a light oil - I use avocado oil because that’s our everyday oil. You could also use canola or peanut oil. Just fill a pan with an inch or so of oil on medium high heat. They only take 2-3 minutes per side. You can always temp them to make sure they are at least 165 degrees F to really make sure they are done. Dunk in all the sauces and enjoy!  Happy weekend!
I am not a craft mom. My version of crafts is baki I am not a craft mom. My version of crafts is baking because 1) my toddler actually engages with it and 2) we have tasty things to eat in the end.  Wanna know how long crafts last in our house? Approximately 23 seconds. Maybe 51 on a good day. So we just stopped crafting a long time ago and instead started baking.  And when I need my toddler to stay in one place, I turn on the faucet. I am still utterly amazed at how long water can entertain a small human. And it’s FREE. 🙌🏻 well, mostly..  Send me all your favorite baking recipes because we are on a roll over here 👩🏻‍🍳
Just left my mom vacation. 💆🏻‍♀️ I do Just left my mom vacation. 💆🏻‍♀️  I don’t know what this says about me. Anybody else find the dentist weirdly relaxing?

We are now officially homeowners. WUT? We didn’t We are now officially homeowners. WUT? We didn’t plan to close on a house 10 weeks after having a baby, but here we are. And we are so, so grateful.  And I’m also terrified. We’ve moved three times and lived in three different states since we got married three years ago. After six years spent living in New York City and Boston, moving back to Charlottesville was really, really hard for me. I cried a lot those first six months because my heart ached for the northeast and for city life. I wanted to pack up and go back to Boston ASAP. It felt so different and so quiet here and at times, very lonely. Even though it felt like the next right step, I second guessed our decision A LOT.
.
But here we are 10 months later ready to continue investing in this neighborhood we’ve come to love. And this community of people that have become so dear. Ten months later and it feels so, so right. And although committing to settling down here for a good bit feels really scary to me, it also brings so much peace to know we aren’t moving again anytime soon. We are here to plant and grow. And raise our babies in this house as we make it a home. It’s also really fun to have one of your best friends be your realtor. We love you @kelli.teter.nesting 🤗
