How to make Vegan Chocolate Banana Bread:

Preheat oven to 350°. Spray a 9x5 non stick loaf pan with cooking spray and set aside.

Add the overripe bananas to a large mixing bowl and mash with a fork until smooth. Whisk in the rest of the wet ingredients and mix well.

Mix together the dry ingredients and 3/4 cup of chocolate chips in a medium bowl. Add to the wet ingredients and whisk together until just combined. Do not over mix.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and evenly sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of the chocolate chips over the top.

Bake for 60-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.

Remove the pan from oven to a wire cooling rack for at least 10-15 minutes. Run a knife around the edges of the loaf pan. Gently remove from the pan. Let cool for at least 15-20 before slicing. Or cool completely. Slice with a serrated bread knife. Serve and Enjoy! For full recipe ingredients and instructions see recipe card below.

Can this vegan chocolate banana bread be made gluten free?

I have not personally tried subbing gluten free flour but my readers have had good results using a gluten free flour blend with my vegan banana bread recipe and I am sure it would be great in this recipe as well.

Pro tips for perfect Vegan Chocolate Banana Bread:

Use overripe bananas for best banana flavour!
Don’t over mix the batter but do make sure it is completely mixed
Lots of chocolate chips!!
Make sure leavening agents are fresh for a good rise which in this recipe would be baking soda

Notes

For gluten free vegan chocolate banana bread: I have not personally tried subbing gluten free flour but my readers have had good results using a gluten free flour blend with my vegan banana bread recipe and I am sure it would be great in this recipe as well.
For a healthier oil free version: you could replace the oil with unsweetened apple sauce.
I have not tried whole wheat or spelt flour with this recipe nor have I tried this recipe with maple syrup in place of sugar.
It will keep covered on the counter for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to a week and freezes well. Slice and wrap individually in plastic wrap to freeze.
