Servings: 8–10 slices
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 50–60 minutes
Ingredients:
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 1/2 cups)
- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil or any neutral oil
- 1/4 cup plant-based milk (like almond, soy, or oat milk)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar or coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (or a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
- 1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips, plus extra for topping
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
Mix Wet Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Add the melted coconut oil, plant-based milk, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir until combined.
Combine Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon (if using).
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined (do not overmix). Fold in the chocolate chips.
Pour and Bake:
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top if desired.
- Bake for 50–60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (it’s okay if it has some melted chocolate on it!).
Cool and Serve:
- Let the banana bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Tips:
- Extra Moisture: For an even moister banana bread, add 1/4 cup applesauce along with the mashed bananas.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
This Vegan Chocolate Chip Banana Bread is sweet, chocolatey, and full of banana flavor – a perfect treat for any time of day!
