(Make sure you let the mixture sit for a minute before you pour it in.)3) Replace the milk in Step 6 with soy milk and 1 tbsp coconut oil. This banana mixture will make up for the lack of moistness from not using any butter.4) Use dairy-free/vegan chocolate chips. Extra Tips1) Make sure that the bananas you’re using are overripe - these will have a lovely sweet taste and be super easy to mash.2) Feel free to switch out half of the sugar with brown sugar to help the cake retain moisture and for some extra flavour.3) When serving, you may want to drizzle some melted chocolate on top of the cake. Alternatively, you can serve the cake whilst still warm with some ice cream on the side for a treat!
