Vegan Chocolate Chip Banana Bread
🌱 Vegan Chocolate Chip Banana Bread 🍌
This Vegan Chocolate Chip Banana Bread is a full loaf with a dark, cracked top and chocolate chips baked right on the surface. No eggs. No dairy. Spotty bananas keep it moist. The chips on top stay visible so every slice looks like the photo.
I love pressing extra chips onto the batter before it goes in the oven. Don’t use pretty yellow bananas — they make dry bread. Mix until you don’t see flour, then stop. 💚

The Secret to a Loaf That Stays Moist
Mash the bananas until they’re almost pudding. A flax egg holds it together. If the top is browning before the center is done, tent with foil for the last 15 minutes. Cool in the pan 15 minutes so it doesn’t collapse when you lift it.
Frequently Asked Questions ❓

Can I add cocoa to the batter? 🍫
Yes. Replace 2 tablespoons of flour with cocoa for a darker loaf.
