Vegan Chocolate Banana Bread Recipe

This vegan banana bread recipe is easy and quick to make. It is rich and moist. And most importantly, there’s no added sugar in it. The sweetness of bananas used in this recipe is enough.

While a vegan banana bread is tasty by itself, adding cacao to it makes it heavenly delicious. This is why I’m sharing this recipe with you, so you can also make a vegan chocolate banana bread from the comfort of your homes.

Vegan Chocolate Banana Bread Ingredients

The ingredients that you need for this recipe are likely to be available in every pantry. These are:

  • All purpose flour
  • Bananas
  • Cocoa Powder
  • Baking soda
  • Soy milk
  • Flax seeds
  • Coconut oil
  • Apple cider vinegar
  • Walnuts
  • Salt

How To Make Vegan Banana Bread

  • Step 1. Preheat the oven to 180 °C or 350 °F.
  • Step 2. In a mixing bowl, add 3 tbsp of water to the ground flax seeds to make a flax egg. Give it a quick stir and set aside for a minute to become gloopy. 
  • Step 3. Add ripe bananas, soy milk, apple cider vinegar and coconut oil to the mixing bowl. Beat for 1 minute. 
  • Step 4. Sift over the flour, cocoa, baking soda, vanilla extract and salt. Beat until just combined. This should not take more than 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Step 5. Stir in chopped walnuts. 
  • Step 6. Pour the batter into a loaf pan lined up with parchment paper which hangs over the sides.

  • Step 7. Bake for 55-65 minuted or until the toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. 
  • Step 8. Take it out of the oven and transfer the loaf to a cooling rack by pulling up the parchment paper to cool completely. Serve after slicing or freeze in a rigid container or a sealed plastic bag. 

Tips On How To Make The Perfect Vegan Banana Bread

  • If the loaf top cracks, that’s totally normal. Most of the time it turns out like that.

  • Use ripe bananas for this recipe that are sweet instead of using unripe ones that are more starch than sugar. This guarantees that no added sugar will be needed for this recipe.
  • Spoon the flour and level instead of scooping it, as the latter results in a bigger quantity than needed.
  • Using flax egg in this recipe adds on the nutrients and health benefits, and not only replaces eggs – as bananas are by nature great egg replacers.
  • Don’t overmix the batter to avoid ending up with a tough, chewy or dense texture.

    I just made this cake. It’s been in the oven for 90 minutes now and still not cooked in the middle. I think 4 bananas is too much. I suggest putting the batter in a 9 x 9 pan instead if a bread pan. It’ll cook better. Fingers crossed!!
