How to Make Banana Chocolate Chip Bread Pudding Vegan

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with softened vegan margarine.
2. Cut 4 cups day-old bread into 1-inch cubes. Place in a large bowl.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together ½ cup soy milk and 2 tablespoons arrowroot powder until smooth and lump-free.
4. Add 1 ½ cups soy milk, ½ cup maple syrup, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg to the wet ingredients. Whisk until well combined.
5. Pour the wet ingredients over the cubed bread, ensuring all pieces are coated. Gently stir to combine.
6. Let the bread soak for at least 15 minutes, allowing the liquid to absorb. Add more soy milk (1-2 tablespoons at a time) if needed until the bread is completely saturated and the mixture is slightly mushy.
7. Gently fold in 1 cup chocolate chips and 2 ripe bananas, lightly mashed.
8. Pour the mixture into the prepared loaf pan, gently patting down to create an even top.
9. Bake for 28-35 minutes, or until the top is puffed, lightly browned, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
10. Let the bread pudding cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm, or scoop with an ice cream scoop when slightly cooled.
