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.
