OMGoodness was this good and soooooo easy to make! I am not really a chocolate lover- unlike everyone else in my family- and even I loved this. The leftovers were just as good reheated in the microwave and I really think just making the cake slightly warm is the key- the pudding melts a little bit. Kelly, thank you for all your hard work! I have two children with multiple food allergies-each have different ones of course:)- and I have invested hundreds of dollars in cookbooks and yours is one of the best. I really appreciate how there are no funny substitutions- just real food! With working full-time and having young children (5 and 7 yrs. old), it is a lifesaver to have go-to recipes that I can make quickly on a weeknight or early on a weekend morning before “life and all its fun stuff” begins. My kids actually look forward to whatever I decide to make. Thank you, thank you and one more time- thank you.

I was going to substitute the margarine with apple sauce because my son is also allergic to dairy and soy. I have never found a soy-free margarine in stores so I always replace it with applesauce.

Earth balance makes a Soy free margarine that works well in recipes, melting and spreading on bread. http://www.earthbalancenatural.com/#/products/soy-free/

FYI- They carry the Earth Balance soy free margarine at Whole Foods in Naperville.

Kelly, this looks so wonderful! Thanks so much! Do you think it would make good muffins, too? My kids are obsessed with muffins.

Definitely! Fill 12 muffin cup capacity tin (greased with dairy free baking spray), up to 3/4 way full, and bake approximately 15-20 minutes (but keep an eye on the muffins as every oven is different!)

Do you have a recipe for milk(soy/rice/coconut/etc.) chocolate (so we can make bunnies and candy for easter)? That would be AWESOME!!!

What a great idea Krista! Get bulk chocolate from Divvies or Enjoy Life (order from their websites) and melt as you would with ordinary chocolate.

I finally had some ripe bananas to try this recipe- it is so yummy! I did use canola oil in place of the margarine. I can find the Earth’s Balance soy-free margarine at the local health food store, but at over $4 a tub, it’s not very cost effective for baking. The bread still turned out great, even with the substitution!

Glad the muffins worked out Jen! And Marla sooo excited the canola oil worked out too! I’m with you on the cost of Earth Balance..that’s probably why I use easy and cheap ingredients all the time. I’m not a fan AT ALL of expensive ingredients. I only use them when I have no other choice. Thanks so much for all the feedback!!

do you have a substitute for flour? My son has all the allergies plus gluten/wheat allergy. he would love these receipies but i can’t use the flour. Any suggestions would be great. Thank you

Mmmm… this looks yummy! Do you think canola oil could be subbed for the margarine? I can’t have soy, and soy-free margarine is very hard to come by!
