Vegan Chocolate Banana Bread (Gluten-Free)
This vegan chocolate banana bread is moist, fluffy, and loaded with melty chocolate chips in every bite! Made with oat flour and naturally sweetened with coconut sugar for an indulgent yet wholesome dessert.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas, = 1 ½ cups mashed banana
- ⅓ cup coconut sugar
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- ¼ cup non-dairy milk
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 3 tbsp coconut oil, melted
- 1 ½ cups oat flour
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup vegan chocolate chips, plus more for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a 9×5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the mashed banana, coconut sugar, maple syrup, non-dairy milk, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract and apple cider vinegar until combined.
- Mix in the oat flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and vegan chocolate chips until just combined.
- Transfer the batter to the loaf pan and top with more vegan chocolate chips.
- Bake for 60-65 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Remove the bread from the oven and let it sit in the pan for 15 minutes. Then, transfer to a wire rack to cool completely (tempting, but this is very important!). Once cool, slice and serve!
Notes
- Use ripe bananas. This is key to getting that sweet and flavorful taste! The darker, older, and mushier the banana, the better.
- Don’t over mix the batter. Stir until everything is just about incorporated.
- Let it cool completely. I know it’s tempting to dig in once you pull it out of the oven, but patience is key. If you cut into it before it’s cooled, it can be gummy and sticky. Banana bread retains heat after it’s pulled out of the oven, so cutting it while it’s still warm can cause a gummy interior.
