Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the overripe bananas using a fork or potato masher until smooth.
Add the almond milk, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas and stir until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and brown sugar.
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chopped walnuts and vegan chocolate chips, if using, to incorporate them evenly throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the banana bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, slice the bread into pieces, and enjoy your vegan banana bread!
