Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 3 large ripe bananas, mashed
- 0.5 cup maple syrup
- 0.25 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup vegan chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with a little coconut oil or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, mash the bananas with a fork until smooth. Add in the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and almond milk. Stir until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently using a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the vegan chocolate chips, saving a few to sprinkle on the top of the loaf, if desired.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, remove the bread from the pan and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
Slice and enjoy your Vegan Chocolate Banana Bread! Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days.
