Useful tips for Vegan chocolate chip banana bread

This recipe is absolutely delicious as-is, but you can feel free to substitute and it will be just as good:
– use any kind of oil (coconut, grapeseed, olive, etc.)
– use any kind of sugar (brown, white, etc.)
– use any kind of flour (almond, oat, gluten free all purpose, etc)
– use any kind of mix-ins (nuts, sunflower seeds, raisins, etc)
– if skipping mix-ins, coat the top with a mixture of cinnamon and sugar

Carefully watch the time on this. Undercooked is better than overcooked. Set the timer for 30 min and then check on it every 5 minutes until done. If the crust is browning and the middle is still gooey, cover in aluminum foil until cooked more thoroughly.

No need for a hand mixer or to get your KitchenAid out of the cabinet, your Vitamix can mix up this batter like a pro! Pictured is the low-profile 64 ounce container that came with our Vitamix Pro 750 (the ones that live on our counter and use several times daily).

Once you've mixed the banana base, gently fold into your dry ingredients. Be careful not to over-mix, just incorporate the ingredients.
