Chocolate Coconut Banana Bread (Vegan)

September 20, 2014May 27, 2017 Melissa King 19 Comments

Chocolate Coconut Banana Bread. Who doesn’t like a nice slice of homemade banana bread? Just the smell of it baking makes my mouth water. I have several healthy banana bread recipes on my blog already, but I had never combined banana, chocolate and coconut together.

I finally combined those flavors making this chocolate banana bread. This healthy chocolate coconut banana bread is oil free and has very little added maple syrup.

I use 3 VERY ripe bananas which helped add a natural sweetness to this. Needless to say, ours was gone in just 2 days!

Using the extra rip bananas helped keep this bread nice and moist without the addition of oil. This super easy banana bread recipe is vegan and gluten free.

You could even make a double batch and freeze some. It freezes very well. I hope you enjoy it.

Blueberry Muffin Smoothie

You guys! This blueberry muffin smoothie is so good! If you have been following this blog for awhile, you know I prefer to add real food to smoothies instead of protein powder. I think protein powder is too expensive and I also prefer to eat things the way nature intended. This is my latest healthy smoothie recipe. This blueberry muffin smoothie contains 8 1/2 grams of protein. It is a breakfast that will keep you full for some time. If you can’t eat oats, quinoa flakes would be a good substitute. 1/4 cup of quinoa flakes contains about 4 grams of protein. You can whip this healthy smoothie up in just minutes!

Another great thing you could do with this smoothie recipe, is make popsicles or smoothie pops with it. I like these molds. My kids love them too! You could probably even sneak some greens in here. The blueberries would mask the color and the banana would mask the flavor of the greens. Trust me. I fool my kids all the time. 🙂

Strawberry Oatmeal Muffins

I like to make muffins with a filling. That is where these strawberry oatmeal muffins come in. Instead of just adding strawberries to the batter, I thought it would be better to make a strawberry cream. My daughter calls them muffins with surprises inside. These strawberry oatmeal muffins are very easy to make. I used a strawberry cashew cream, but you can also use strawberry yogurt if you like. Not only are these muffins made healthier, they have a nice protein boost thanks to the filling. These might be a hit with pickier kids. My picky 4 1/2 year old loved them. Especially the filling. I hope you enjoy them as well.

These healthy, cream filled muffins are vegan and gluten free.

Healthy Flourless Chocolate Muffins

Oh wow! These healthy flourless chocolate muffins are seriously good! They are also super easy to make. All you need is 4 ingredients!

These chocolate muffins are very rich, and would probably be great for cupcakes as well. These healthy flourless chocolate muffins only take about 20 minutes from start to finish. No mixer required. We all need more chocolate muffins in our life right?

I used peanut butter in these chocolate muffins to add a rich texture. You could also use sunflower butter if you have a peanut allergy. If you want the rich texture, but not the strong flavor of the peanut butter, you can try using macadamia butter or cashew butter.

Macadamia butter works awesome in my fudgy flourless brownies, so I know it would be good in these as well. I also often use cashew butter as a base for my flourless cookie recipes. These healthy chocolate muffins are vegan, gluten free and grain free. I hope you enjoy them.

Cherry Chocolate Overnight Oats

Cherry Chocolate Overnight Oats. Cherries and chocolate go so well together and that is why I made these cherry chocolate vegan overnight oats.

If you have been following me for a while, you know I love overnight oats. Overnight oats are some of the easiest breakfasts you will ever make.

Overnight oats are also known as oats in a jar. There is no cooking involved and it’s a breakfast that will keep you full into lunch.

This cherry chocolate overnight oats recipe is perfect for all you chocolate lovers. It’s like eating dessert for breakfast!

This easy overnight oats recipe is vegan and gluten free. You can eat it cold, or heat it up in the morning. I personally love making these with steel cut oats and eating them cold.

It reminds me of the boxed cereal that I used to eat. I used dried cherries in my recipe, but you can use fresh as well. I hope you enjoy.

Peach Streusel Muffins. My daughter loves peaches so I thought I would make her some peach muffins. Streusel muffins to be exact. Because muffins are always better with a streusel topping right?

These peach streusel muffins are made healthier. In fact, the muffins itself has very little added sugar. I used diced and pureed peaches to sweeten these. The peach puree also kept these muffins super moist without the need for oil. If you like these muffins, you may also like these and these.
