Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 Ripe bananas
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.75 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 3 tablespoons Cocoa powder
- 0.25 cup Dark chocolate chips (vegan)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the almond milk, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Transfer 1 cup of the batter into a smaller bowl and mix in the cocoa powder until evenly incorporated.
Pour half of the plain banana batter into the prepared loaf pan. Add dollops of the chocolate batter on top, followed by the remaining plain batter. Use a knife or skewer to swirl the batters together, creating a marbled effect.
Optional: Sprinkle the vegan dark chocolate chips on top for extra flavor and texture.
Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the banana bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Enjoy your marbled chocolate banana bread as a delicious vegan treat!
