A simple recipe for moist, rich vegan banana bread featuring chocolate chips. This recipe uses a flax egg substitute for binding.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 very ripe large bananas, mashed (about 1 1/2 cups)
  • 1 flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water, set aside for 5 minutes)
  • 1/2 cup melted coconut oil or neutral oil
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup plant-based milk (almond or soy recommended)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup vegan chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the flax egg by mixing the ground flaxseed and water. Let it sit until it thickens.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas, prepared flax egg, melted oil, sugar, plant milk, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the vegan chocolate chips.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  8. Bake for 50 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with moist crumbs attached.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes before carefully transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Use bananas that are heavily spotted or black for the best flavor and moisture.
  • If you prefer a less dense loaf, you can substitute 1/2 cup of the flour with 1/2 cup of whole wheat pastry flour.
  • Store leftover bread tightly wrapped at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze slices for longer storage.
