Simplest Eggless Pecan Chocolate Chip Banana Bread … Wholegrain, one bowl, quick and addictively good! It’s that time of the year where baking takes over my world and this bread is something I bake often! Actually really often because this banana bread is addictive good and just too delicious. It always hits the right spot and is pure comfort, just how a good banana bread should be!

Despite it being wholegrain, it is moist, moorish, earthy and disappears really quickly at home. All you need is a bowl and a whisk. The recipe uses pretty standard ingredients and I always have a large bunch of bananas on hand. Getting to the last slice sends me into banana bread baking mode, and I’m certainly not complaining. Did I tell you that the buttery pecan nuts really add a handsome bite to the bread? Of course, they are also a great add to desserts!

The pecan is a nut from a species of hickory trees native to northern Mexico and the Southern United States. The nut is a nutrition powerhouse loaded with vitamins and minerals. Raw pecans are cholesterol-free, sodium-free, and low in carbohydrates. With their rich, buttery flavor and natural sweetness, they make a tasty and satisfying snack. 

This Eggless Pecan Chocolate Chip Banana Bread is a delicious breakfast option and doubles up quite nicely as perfect dessert too. Going eggless with my baking has taught me that bananas make a fine egg substitute and are often the key to moist delicious bakes. I was never a fan of banana in my bakes but began making the banana bread on reader request on Instagram. I was sold!!

This is a recipe I’ve made over the years and I simplify it each time I bake it. It’s been baked by so many of you with simple substitutes, olive oil instead of ghee, jaggery instead of sugar, into cupcakes and even a sheet cake. It never disappoints!

I’ve made a Biscoff version as well and that hit the ball out of the park. I have to confess I now find the Biscoff Banana Bread dangerously addictive and very very satisfying. You can find that recipe here. It turned out quite pretty and makes for a really nice edible gift like this pecan version!!

In this Eggless Pecan Chocolate Chip Banana Bread I’ve used wholewheat flour (our everyday aata if you run an Indian pantry), ghee/clarified butter and brown sugar, and simply hand mixed everything together in a large bowl. It always turns out excellent. Do try it if you have well ripened bananas on hand; I’m sure you’ll love it too! It’s comfort in a loaf, is always good to have on hand when hunger strikes AND it also makes for a really nice holiday gift. Happy Holidays!
