This best Vegan Chocolate Banana Bread is soft, moist, tender, and very easy to make in one bowl! It tastes almost like a chocolate cake, and the recipe can easily be made gluten-free too!
Best Vegan Chocolate Banana Bread Recipe
Iβm so excited to share this recipe with you guys, because, Iβm not lying when I say this is the BEST Vegan Chocolate Banana Bread Iβve ever made! Iβm very happy that one of the most beloved recipes here on my blog is my classic vegan banana bread. Itβs awesome that so many of you have loved changing it up by adding chocolate into it. I really love this idea, but I think when you make it with chocolate, there need to be some changes from my classic recipe. Changes that make it softer and moister! So I came up with the idea to create the perfect recipe. One which is soft, rich and very chocolatey! Finally, here it is!
The perfect breakfast and dessert!
Have I mentioned how much I love banana bread and chocolate? Well, in case I havenβt, let me just say that I really do! One great thing about Vegan Chocolate Banana Bread is that itβs healthier than chocolate cake, even though it almost tastes like veganΒ chocolate cake. So itβs the perfect sweet treat for any time of the day! I really love making it in advance and keeping it in the fridge for the following days so that I always have a quick and yummy snack on hand. But to be honest, it never lasts that long in my kitchen, because itβs too delicious not to eat all of it! Starting by enjoying it for breakfast, then later as an afternoon dessert with ice cream on top and maybe also before going to bed as a late night snack with extra peanut butter, haha!
How to make Vegan Banana Bread
Another great thing about this recipe is that itβs very easy to make! All you need is one bowl, a spoon, a fork, and a few simple ingredients! You donβt even need a food processor, mixer or blender! Actually, the batter is mixed together in less than 5 minutes, depending on how long you need to peel the bananas maybe, haha – okay, just joking! But Iβm not joking when I say that it really is very quick and easy to make!
As I mentioned before, we need only a few ingredients! Just flour, cocoa, baking powder, ripe bananas, sugar (or another sweetener), oil, non-dairy milk, vanilla extract, and dairy-free chocolate chips for the topping. Anyways, the chocolate chips are not necessary for this recipe but if youβre like me, you can never have enough chocolate!
This Best Vegan Chocolate Banana Bread is:
- Vegan
- Egg-free
- Dairy-free
- Soft
- Moist
- Rich
- Chocolatey
- Easy & quick to make
- made with only a few ingredients
- Tastes like a healthier chocolate cake
- The perfect breakfast, dessert or snack
Can I make gluten-free Banana Bread?
If you want to make a gluten-free Vegan Chocolate Banana Bread, you can substitute a gluten-free flour blend 1:1. If you canβt find it in a store or online shop, you can also use gluten-free oat flour or make your own oat flour. Simply put gluten-free oats into a food processor or grinder and process into oat flour. Just keep in mind that when using oat flour, your vegan banana bread will not be as soft as when you use a lighter flour. Honestly, I havenβt tried using other flours yet, but feel free to try it. I recommend adjusting the liquid and adding more non-dairy milk if needed because different types of flour absorb less or more liquid.

Ingredients
- 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour or spelt flour (160g) or sub gluten-free flour*
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder (50g)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 very ripe large bananas
- 1/3 cup + 1 tbsp non-dairy milk (100ml)
- 1/3 cup oil (75g)
- 1/2 cup sugar (115g) or to taste
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- Chocolate Chips for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ΛF (175ΛC). Grease and line a 9-inch loaf pan with parchment paper so that there is an overhang on both sides.
- Place the flour, cornstarch, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a bowl and whisk together.
- Mash the bananas with a fork. Add to a measuring jar along with the non-dairy milk, oil, sugar, vanilla extract and apple cider vinegar. Stir well to combine.
- Pour this mixture into the flour mixture and stir until just combined.
- Fill the batter into the prepared pan. Optionally, sprinkle over chocolate chips. Bake for about 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. (If you want moist banana bread, make sure not to overbake it.)
- Let cool completely in the pan. Then using the parchment paper to remove it.
- Slice and enjoy!
Notes
- To make this banana bread gluten-free, I recommend using a gluten-free flour blend 1:1.
- If using another flour, such as oat flour or whole grain flour, keep in mind that your banana bread wonβt get as fluffy and soft as when using a lighter flour. Also, please make sure to adjust the liquid by adding more non-dairy milk, if needed, because different flours absorb different amounts of liquid.
- You can use any sweeteners you like, such as maple syrup, agave syrup, coconut sugar or other.

Dear Bianca,
Thank yo so much for this lovely and caring recipe.
I really appreciate that you use mostly basic baking ingredients for this amazingly tasty cake.
During the lockdown it’s getting difficult to find even some essential ingredients. I feel so much support that I can make something special for my family but also don’t need to worry about grocery shopping.
PS. I’ve already made this lovely cake 3 times within few weeks time for my family. and they all turned out so good.
Wish you and your loved ones health and safety.
Thank youππ»
Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m super happy that this cake is working so good for you! Please stay safe. π
I made this today after looking forward to making it for a few weeks, but it just tasted of oil. I used the 75g as advised and used sunflower oil as this is mild, when I measured it out it seemed a lot so I double checked is measured correct and I had. Do you have any alternatives/suggestions please?
Hi Julie!
I usually use canola oil because it tastes very neutral. I do not really think that this banana bread tastes like oil. If you like to use less, you can replace part of it with applesauce.
Love this recipe! I subbed applesauce for the oil and used whole wheat flour. It still baked up perfectly!
That’s awesome, Glenda! <3
I have made this three times; it is so good! Now that I have served it with lots of berries for Mother’s Day, it is a huge hit with everyone in the house, and will be repeated often. Thank you, Bianca!
So glad you love it! Many thanks π
Just baked this tonight and wowβ so good! I followed the recipe exactly as listed and it came together so quickly and easily, which I loved! It took about 40 minutes to bake for me. My only complaint is that it is a little bit dryβ I am wondering if after it sits overnight and settles it will be slightly more moist! If not, I might try adding a little more plant-based milk the next time I bake it to see what happens. Overall, a delicious recipe that I will definitely be saving for future use! Thanks so much!!
Hello Maggie,
maybe it’s because of the size of the bananas used. If you like it more moist, you can also add a little more oil or some peanut butter. I’m glad you like it! Thanks for your great feedback. π
oh my goodness! this was probably one of the tastiest things i have ever baked. you can definetly not tell it is vegan. I made it a marble loaf instead by splitting the batter and adding cacao/cocoa powder to it and combining them together. so delicious.
Yay, that’s amazing! Glad you turned this recipe into a marble banana bread. Thanks for your feedback! π
I don’t think I’ll ever go back to normal banana bread now! This is just so ridiculously delicious β€. Super chocolatey, moist and not too heavy.
I followed the recipe exactly and added 100grams of chopped orange and almond vegan dark chocolate. The smell is intoxicating. Also put some sliced amond on top for crunch.
Thanks for the recipe, I’m absolutely going to make it again and again ππ
This sounds like an absolute dream for any chocolate fan. I am very happy that you like my banana bread so much! Thanks for your sweet comment! π
I have made this so many times and everyone who eats it loves it. I have made it GF with a 1:1 Dove’s GF flour, but with the addition of some almond flour for some extra moisture. I have also added another banana for the same reason, and tend to have to add in much more plant milk also. I have also added extra choc chips and even some chopped walnuts into the batter. Being GF I have to be extra careful not to overbake.
Thank you for a wonderful recipe!
So happy to hear that you like my recipe. Thank you for sharing your tipps for making an awesome GF version of this banana bread! π
This was one of the easiest recipes I’ve ever made! The loaf turned out super moist with just the right amount of sweetness! I swapped out the cornstarch for arrowroot. Also, right after it was finished baking, I slid out the baking rack from the oven and used my offset spatula to smother the melted chocolate chips all over the entire top surface into a frosting!
So glad you enjoyed it! Many thanks! β‘
I made this with my son for a school project, the whole family enjoyed! I ate mine with Oatly custard, it was delicious!
Thanks for your great feedback! π
So glad you love this recipe!
Happy weekend! β‘
Hi Bianca,
Thank You for sharing this amazing recipe.
Based on gluten free diet I made it with 80g buckwheat flour and 80g self rising rice flour.
I used little agave syrup and stevia to sweeten the cake. Also I reduced the amount of oil, therefore I used around 10ml and the rest was soy milk.
Omg! Iβm vegan for 3 years, I tried many cakes but this! – is the best I eaten, tried and also made so far! The texture of the sponge is perfect. Light, soft and moist! I put pure apple pure on the top of each slice! Thank you again!
Hi Alexa,
Thanks for your suggestions on making this cake gluten-free! π
So glad you love this recipe!
Happy weekend! β‘
This is such a brilliant recipe. I added 1/4th cup of orange juice to the recipe because my dough seemed too thick. It turned out so so good!!
Many thanks! π
So glad you loved it! β‘
Amazing recipe, thank you so much! Clear description, easy to make, and delicious. Thank you again!
That’s awesome! I am glad you loved this recipe! β‘

This is by far the tastiest, chewiest and best chocolate banana bread i have ever eaten!!

I am so glad you love it! Thank you so much! π
What’s the best oil to use?
I use canola oil or sunflower oil! π
This recipe was delicious and simple to make! I made it for two of my friends who do not eat plant based and they absolutely loved it! Definitely writing this one down as my staple chocolate banana bread recipe β€οΈ
Yay, thatβs amazing! π
Thank you so much for your great feedback!
Best, Bianca <3
Eines meiner liebsten Bananenbrot-Rezepte. β₯ DANKE // One of my favorite banana bread recipes. β₯ THANK YOU
Das freut mich sehr, liebe Lena! π
Ich danke dir fΓΌr dein Feedback!
LG, Bianca <3
Very tasty! I realize that the bananas I used probably fall into the βmediumβ category rather than β2 largeβ, because the texture did turn out a bit more crumbly than Iβd like… but my gut tells me that if I just use 3 med. bananas next time (And maybe some walnuts) that itβll be perfect. π
Hi Erin,
Yes, 3 medium bananas would be better! π
Love the addition of walnuts! π
Best, Bianca <3
Thank you! And I donβt feel like I said enough about how good the bread is!! In spite of my small ingredient miscalculation itβs still so tasty and chocolateyβ still a good texture, very light and soft. Itβs been good for breakfast with coffee, a snack, and dessert. π
I am so happy that you love this bread so much!
Thanks for your wonderful words! π
Much love, Bianca <3
This is a beautiful recipe and turned out very well. I only cooked for 40mins.
So glad it turned out great!
Thank you so much for your feedback! β€οΈ

Bianca, it was the softest, moistest and yummiest choco banana banana bread. I additionally added walnuts and melted dark chocolate because I like it more chocolaty. Thanks for the recipe π
So glad you love this recipe! Thank you so much! π
I love everything about this recipe! So moist and superb chocolatey flavor without overpowering the banana. Added some chopped walnuts for some crunch. Bonus: It made the whole house smell heavenly!
So glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much! π
Super lecker, mal ein Veganer Schoko Kuchen der auch saftig und locker ist! Ich habe das Rezept einmal Original und einmal glutenfrei gebacken, die Glutenfreie Variante habe ich mit Mandelmehl und 1/3 glutenfreier Backmischung gemacht. Die Glutenfreie Variante ist mehr wie ein brownie geworden aber auch super lecker. Egal wie nur zu empfehlen!
Hey Simone,
das freut mich doch sehr zu lesen!
Die Brownies probiere ich auch gerne mal aus! π Jetzt hast du mich auf eine Idee gebracht…
Ich danke dir fΓΌr das klasse Feedback
Viele GrΓΌΓe,
Bianca π
Amazing and simple recipe.
Thank you! π
Absolutely amazing!
I switched out the flour for an almond flour and the oil for a coconut oil and they turned out amazing. Much sweeter than I though but still delicious! This recipe is a must and it was so easy.
So glad you enjoyed it! Thank you! π
Canβt believe how easy and fool proof this recipe is. Thank you for sharing it, one the best and moist-est chocolate banana bread. Who needs eggs anyway! π€ͺ

So glad everyone loves this recipe!
Thank you for your amazing feedback! π
Best, Bianca <3
Iβm not vegan but I LOVE to experiment with vegan baking and let me just tell you this banana bread is PERFECT! All I had was two medium bananas so I had to add some extra water to thin the batter, but it still turned out awesome! And it tastes heavenly!
So glad you love this recipe! Thank you so much for your great feedback!
Best, Bianca <3
I love to bake and with my mum being Vegan and myself turning to more meat/dairy free options, I wanted to experiment with vegan baking recipes. I found this fab recipe by Bianca and immediately knew I needed to make it. Itβs amazing, my mums favourite new cake and she couldnβt believe it was vegan! Myself and my little girl love it too so whenever we have over ripe bananas guess what we will be making?! Thanks Bianca we look forward to trying out more of your recipes!
This recipe is just perfect to use up bananas! So glad everyone loved it! Thank you so much for your great feedback! π
This chocolate banana bread is so delicious π Also the recipe is very easy & quick to prepare. Plus, it’s a good way to use very ripe bananas. I am personally addicted to bananas and this recipe is one of the best. Thanks Bianca xxx
So glad you love my banana bread!
Thank you so much for your amazing feedback. π

Truly the best vegan chocolate banana bread! No fuss and quick and easy to make. The result: a decadent, moist, melt-in-the-mouth bite with the richness of chocolate and all the nutrition of bananas. I’m glad to have switched over to vegan baking! Kudos to Bianca β€οΈ
So glad you love this chocolate banana bread! π
Thank you so much for your amazing feedback!
Best,

Best banana bread ever. I will always make like this. Who knew one could omit the eggs and sour cream? π€·πΌββοΈ I substituted flax for the cornstarch (using half of cornstarch stated), as I was out of cornstarch, and Iβm not missing it. Really moist, quite lovely. Thank you.
So glad you love my vegan banana bread! Thank you so much for your feedback! π
Did you make a peanut butter glaze as a topping for your photos? Is there a recipe for the glaze/icing? Definitely making these ASAP!
Itβs just melted creamy peanut butter! π
I just made this and Iβm definitely adding it to my favorites!!! So good and so easy!!! I did 1cup all purpose and 1/3 cup whole wheat flour – just because I wanted to use up my remaining ww flour. I also subbed the oil for applesauce because I avoid oils. It was still perfectly moist and fluffy. Not dense and gummy at all like can happen with some vegan cakes. Next time I think I will try cutting the sugar in half as well and maybe even sub the apple cider vinegar for chocolate balsamic. Iβm so happy I found this recipe! Thank you!!
So glad you love this recipe! Thank you so much for your amazing feedback! π
Tried this recipe a few days ago and absolutely loved how it came out! The banana chocolate flavor was amazing, and the chocolate chips were the perfect topping. The recipe was so easy to follow, and it’s vegan too! Highly recommend π
So glad you love this recipe! Thank you so much for your amazing feedback! π
So in love π this is probably the best banana bread in the world! My family and friends (all non-vegan) loved it too ! β€οΈ
Thank you so much for your amazing feedback! β€οΈ
I made this recipe yesterday and it turned out amazing! Moist and very chocolaty. I paired it up with some vegan PB frosting. Delicious, I will definetely make it again in the future!

So glad you love this recipe! Yes, sure you can add peanut butter! Thank you so much! β€οΈ
Hello Bianca,
I would like to use this recipe to make muffins that I can share with a few friends – would that work!? If so, any suggestion on baking time?
Thank you for your help! The recipe looks delicious!
Hi Ashley, muffins take around 25 minutes. I highly recommend testing it with a skewer after 20 minutes to avoid overvaluing (
Have fun trying! β€οΈ
Baked the muffins for about 24 minutes and they were perfect! Thanks for the tasty recipe!
So glad your muffins turned out great! Thank you for your amazing feedback! β€οΈ
Terrific Choco Banana Bread! My husband who is not a choco lover cake at all loved it! Fluffy and irresistible cake, I will definitively make it again! I added some coconut flakes too on the top. Enjoy!!! Thank you Bianca <3

So glad your mom love this recipe, too! Thank you so much π
Habe das Brot jetzt bereits mehrere Male gemacht. Und es hat immer allen (ob Veganer oder nicht) toll geschmeckt. Man benΓΆtigt keine auΓergewΓΆhnlichen Zutaten und es ist schnell gemacht. Auf jedenfall ein tolles Rezept fΓΌr viele AnlΓ€sse. Ich fΓΌge manchmal noch NΓΌsse/Beeren in den Teig.
Das mit den NΓΌssen und Beeren klingt super! Freut mich, dass dir dieses Rezept so gut gefΓ€llt! β€οΈ
Such a great recipe!!!!! My family and I loved it! Perfect amount of sweetness with the combination of the banana and chocolate! Thanks for posting this great recipe:)
So glad your family enjoyed it, too! Thank you so much for your feedback! β€οΈ
I was ready to try a new recipe today and decided this was it! I am so glad! Iβve never made a gluten free banana bread but decided to give it a shot (I had a 1:1 mix in hand that I wanted to try)
The bread turned out super delicious, moist and satisfying without being overly rich or sweet. The whole family loved it ! Topped with vegan chocolate chunks for an extra chocolatey touch. Iβve already shared the recipe with all of my friends and Iβm looking forward to trying more of your recipes!
I honestly thought they would be tougher, given your beautiful photos! This was super easy! Thank you!
So glad you love this banana bread recipe and my photos! Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! π
This recipe is AMAZING! My non-vegan family loved it and I could not stop eating it all day! The batter came out thicker than I expected and it took exactly 40 mins to bake, but it turned out beautifully! Moist, rich, super flavorful, and the best part is that it is so easy to make! I highly recommend this recipe!
Thank you so much! So glad you love my banana bread! π
Bianca meant every word she said! Such a quick and easy recipe. My first ever vegan cake and I am really impressed. So moist and full of flavour. I canβt waig to try some more recipes.
Thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed my banana bread! Have fun trying more recipes! π
This is by far the best recipe along with the best outcome! Thank you – getting to become a big fan now. Your ve and gf options are the best, explained well, and not to mention the presentation – wow! Wish I could share my photos of this chocolate banana bread here!
Thank you so much for your amazing feedback! So glad you love it, too! π You can send me your photos on Instagram if you like! π
Hi I have tried this Recipe.. And let me tell you it’s the best Vegan Chocolate Banana Bread. I made it yesterday and my family just enjoyed it. It was a hit in the very first attempt. Just delicious, decadent and pillowy soft texture. Bianca you’re the Bestest. Thank you so much for this lovely recipe. π§‘ππ€π»
So glad you love my recipe so much! Thank you for your amazing feedback! Lots of love to you! π
This looks fantastic. Going to make it for a friend for her birthday. What type of cocoa powder did you use? Natural, Dutch process etc?
Thanks!
I have the same question. I*think*, because Dutched-style cocoa powder does not react well with baking soda, the recipe must call for natural cocoa powder. But would also like that to be clarified. Thanks!
Yes, youβre absolutely right! This recipe calls for natural cocoa powder! π
Hi Jenna, I use natural cocoa powder! π
If I’m using small bananas how many should I use?
You can use about 1 cup mashed bananas! π
This was the most amazingly moist, fluffy, decadently tasting cake I’ve ever had……yes really! So easy to make and very cost effective. As it was Easter, I waited until it was cool then poured over a small bar of melted sugar-free/dairy free chocolate and then placed a few walnuts on top. It was absolutely delicious and a fantastic way of using up my overripe bananas. Making this would be a great way to keep your kiddies entertained too whilst home-schooling etc. lots of practical maths in weighing and measuring ingredients. Kids regardless of age love cooking/baking so give it a go,,,,,,,,it’s win win all round. Thanks Bianca
So glad you love this banana bread! Thank you so much! π
The best chocolate banana bread ever! I try this for the first time and I love it!!! Easy and quick to make, very good, taste soooooo sweet and soooooo delicious this my new “Must try”!!! Love love loooooooovee this recipe!
Wow, thank you so much! π
Hi Bianca,
The recipe looks super amazing. I wanted to know that I don’t have cornstarch and Apple Cider Vinegar ( I have regular Vinegar). Is it okay to omit these two ?
Yes, sure! π
Super yummy! Very moist and sweet. I added walnuts and chocolate chips to the mix and it was really yummy. 100% recommend.
Thank you so much! So glad you love it!
So decadent and delicious.
Thank you π
My absolute favourite banana bread, it is the most delicious treat. Itβs so simple to make, just be careful because itβs almost impossible to have just one slice.
So glad you love it so much! Thank you π
Hi! Great recipe! Bread is moist, essecional, so so delicious π I donβt know what is better – the simple, easy recipe or the best chocolate taste of it! ππ«π
Thank you so much for your amazing feedback! π
Soooooooo good! Gone in less than 24 hours!
So glad you love this! π
Today is my birthday and with being stuck at home I find that I have everything to make this and from the comments Iβve read itβs sure to be yummy! I am curious though, what did you drizzle on top of it? Is it peanut butter or something similar?
melted creamy peanut butter, put in the microwave for few a seconds. She says in a comment quite far down, i was keen to find out too.
This is just melted creamy peanut butter on top! Thank you so much! I hope you’ll enjoy my recipes! Happy birthday to you! π
Love this recipe! This absolutely is the best chocolate banana bread! The flavour is amazing. Iβm not the best baker but both times Iβve made it, itβs turned out so good! Everyone that has tasted it thinks itβs delicious. Thanks for a great recipe π
So glad you love this banana bread! Thank you so much! π
Soo good and the dough is soo fluffy. Love it!
Thank you! π
Very delicious recipe- moist and chocolatey!! I will definitely make this again. Thanks for sharing! π
Thank you so much! π
Amazing recipe! This is the first time
Iβve made a banana bread that didnβt turn out kind of βdenseβ. On the contrary, it was really fluffy and delicious! Iβll definitely bake it again π
So glad you love it! Thank you so much π
This cake is really good, tasty, moist! Recipe recommended.
So glad you love this recipe! Thank you so much π
Loved LOVED this recipe! Turned out so good! Itβs moist and chocolatey, just the way I like itπ
Thank you π
This bread is very good and very easy! It’s a fluffy and a subtlety sweet banana bread. I’ve already shared this link with several friends. I mention that I made it and I get “oooo that sounds good!” I send the link immediately! I made the first loaf following the recipe and it was done in about 45 mins. I didn’t believe it so I left it in a little longer and it was then a little too dry so really watch that. The next two loaves I made with unsweetened applesauce instead of oil and I found that they needed about 50 mins. They were perfect! I can’t wait to try more of your recipes!
Hi Bri, thank you so much for your amazing feedback! Hope you’ll love my other recipes, too! π
Uno dei migliori dolci che ho fatto, sano, buonissimo e naturale!!! Sto continuando a rifare questa ricetta, la adoro!
β€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈ
I just loved this recipe!
I did not put as much sugar because I dont like sweet things that much, I added one carrot and left out the vinegar, which I did not have and it taste just delicious!
On the top I use the marmelade from passion fruit which makes it even more amazing!
Thank you, I will be recommending this to everyone.
Finally I found the recipe for perfect banana bread!
So glad you love this recipe! Thank you so much π
Wow. I’ve already tried a thousand banana bread recipes and yet I never found one where I had that ‘aaah-uuuh’ – effect after trying which made me bake it again. Now I found your recipe that even caused my mother to have that reaction – who certainly is not a banana bread lover.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. You are doing a great job at creating recipes.
Xoxo, Anna
So glad your mom loved this recipe so much, too! Thank you for your amazing feedback! π
I’m always happy to inspire people with my recipes π
Sooo lecker und schnell gebacken!!! Vegan kann so einfach sein!! π vielen Dank dafΓΌr!! π
Das freut mich sehr! Danke π
I have not tried this yet, but it looks amazing and loving all the positive comments. Before I make this, we follow a Whole Food Plant-Based diet plan. Oil in recipes is not allowed. Has anyone made this with a substitute for the oil such as unsweetened applesauce or baby purΓ©ed prunes? Thank you.
Hi Suzanne, you can make this recipe oil-free by using unsweetened applesauce or more banana but this will change the texture. Let me know how you liked it! π
Best banana cake recipe, I tried this for the first time and I loved it. So did my family. Very easy to make. Thank you dear Bianca.
So glad you love this banana bread! Thank you so much! π
I’ve made this twice in the last two weeks and it’s delicious! The first time I halved the recipe as I had one very ripe banana and it turned out great! It’s the perfect ratio of chocolate and banana and the texture is moist and wonderfully crumbly. The recipe is simple and easy to follow and I love that “jump to recipe” button at the top of the blog. The only change I make to the recipe is to use half vanilla extract / half almond extract which I think goes great with the chocolate and the banana. Will be making this often!
So glad you love this vegan banana bread! Thank you so much for your amazing feedback! π
3rd time I made this recipe with some walnuts on top and it always turns out delicious. Made for a colleague who is not even vegan but after she tried it she wanted me to make another one for her π
Thank you very much for sharing the recipe with us π»

So glad you love this chocolate banana bread! Thanks for your kind comment! π
This is honestly the best banana bread I have ever made! Its so simple and was a hit with the family. We loved it so much, I made it a 2nd time as soon as we finished the first. First batch we made with almond flour, came out nice and dense and was like brownie batter….yum! This time I used flour and it is definitely more like bread but just as good.
So glad you love this recipe! Thanks for your amazing feedback and for sharing your experiences! π
One of the most delicious banana bread ever. I made it and it becomes really tasty! Definitely I will make it again.
So glad you love this recipe! Thank you! π
Best vegan chocolate banana bread ever!! Easy to make and soooo delicious.
So glad you enjoyed this recipe! π Thanks for your amazing feedback! Lots of love, Bianca <3
Absolutely relish! I will be baking again.
Delish! Not relish. Damn you autocorrect π
Don’t worry! π
Thank you! π
This is so yummy! Quick question though, do you have a recipe for the peanut sauce?
Hi Amy, so glad you loved this chocolate banana bread! The peanut sauce is just melted creamy peanut butter π I put it into the microwave for a few seconds until liquid π
Just made this and it was AH-amazing! Everyone gobbled it up and no one realized it was banana bread. Not that they donβt like banana bread but my kids are a bit over the traditional kind.
Hi Amanda, so glad you like this vegan banana bread so much! Thank you for your amazing feedback! Lots of love, Bianca <3
I have made this many times, it’s my favorite recipe! Really is THE best. This time I used a smaller bread pan so I would have enough batter to make 2 donuts π ….just had to!
Hi there, so glad to read that this vegan chocolate banana bread recipe is your favorite! Thank you for sharing the idea to make donuts with leftover batter! π Lots of love, Bianca <3
So happy I decided to make this one! It was very soft, fluffy and everyone liked it. Not to mention the smell while baking… well, whatβs better than chocolate?
Hi Konsta, so glad you love this vegan banana bread! Thank you for your amazing feedback! I hope you enjoy your Christmas holidays! Merry Christmas and lots of love, Bianca <3

Hallo, habe heute dein Schoko-Bananenbrot gebacken und es schmeckt soooo gut!
Da ich keinen Apfelessig zu Hause hattte, habe ich stattdessen einen EL Mineralwasser hinzugefΓΌgt.
Viele GrΓΌΓe @ncmitdrei
Ich danke dir vielmals fΓΌr das tolle Feedback! Es freut mich sehr zu hΓΆren, dass dir der Kuchen so gut geschmeckt hat! Mineralwasser ist ja auch eine gute Option! π Liebe GrΓΌΓe, Bianca <3
Best banana bread ever π
Thank you so much! π
If I want to make this in a Bundt pan I think I need to increase the ingredients right?
Hi Joanna, this depends on the size of your bundt pan. If you have a large one, you’ll have to increase the ingredients.
I don’t usually like banana flavour cakes, but this one was incredibly tasty. I’ve baked it for 40 minutes, so it was super moist, like brownie. Instructions are really easy to follow. Will definitely bake it again. π₯°
Hi Renata, so glad you enjoyed this chocolate banana bread! Thank you for your feedback! π
Made this recently and it was so easy and delicious! Definitely going to make it again!
Hi Katie, so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for your feedback! π
I was curious if youβve ever made this recipe in a mini loaf tin? Iβm not the greatest baker so I wouldnβt know the time difference for baking. Looks delicious!
Hi Dani, if using a mini loaf tin and less batter you may reduce the baking time or the banana bread will be too dry when it’s overbaked. I suggest testing with a skewer after 25 minutes. If the skewer comes out almost clean with a few moist crumbs attached, you can remove the loaf. Otherwise, bake it 10 minutes longer, then test again. Let me know how it turned out for you π
I used gluten free flour (Bob’s red mill (blue)1-to-1) so I used 3 bananas for more moisture. Worked super well! I will definitely use more sugar next time, even with 3 bananas and 1/2 cup sugar it just wasn’t sweet.
Hi Abi, so glad you liked it! Thanks for letting me know that it worked well with gluten-free flour! I prefer making it a little less sweet so you can serve it with additional fresh bananas and a sweet spread or caramel drizzle! π
Neues Lieblingsrezept!! Geht super schnell und schmeckt total schokoladig aber ist trotzdem nicht zuu sΓΌΓ. Ich liebe es!π»
Liebe Jana, das freut mich wirklich sehr zu hΓΆren! π Danke fΓΌr dein Feedback! <3
I tried this recipe too and it was a success! I combined it with a frosting and my friends ate it all! I am curio Great one, thanks Bianca!
Hi Simona, so glad to hear that you liked this recipe! Thank you so much for your feedback! π <3
I tried this recipe and it was fantastic. I left out the sugar though as I wanted to do an eggless, spelt flour, sugar less cake and this worked perfectly. Thank you very much for sharing this with us.
So happy to hear you enjoyed the banana bread! π Thank you so much for your feedback!
So Iβve tried many chocolate banana cake recipes and this one is by far the best. Itβs so quick and super easy to make. Loved it and so did my family. Iβll be guarding this recipe like gold!
So happy to hear that and that you all enjoyed it! π Thank you so much!
I made this recipe yesterday and I really really love it ! Good way to use banana, made a chocolate cake AND show to reticent people vegan food is not eat grass π πππ
Thanks so much Bianca for this recipe !
I will make it again π
Haha, I totally agree with you! π So happy to hear that you loved this chocolate banana bread too! It’s so much better than grass, right? xD Thank you so much <3
I tried it this weekend and it was easy and so GOOD!!
I’ll try it with cinnamon π
So happy about that! Thank you π Will try it with cinnamon too! Thanks for the idea π
I made this for the second time with Pisang GAROHO from Indonesia.. I love this recipe very much. As instead of apple cedar vinegar I use lime juice for the banana. It’s yummy … Thanks Bianca..
So happy that you liked the recipe too π Thank you <3
Yum! I found this on pinterest and started making it without checking the comments (I usually do to see what people write about what they added extra or didn’t add), but I didn’t need to read them…it came out so great exactly the way you have it. Thank you!
So happy that you liked it too π Thank you so much!
Hi Bianca, thanks so much for the recipe. I thought it tasted delicious but mine came out dry.
I used oat milk and Bobredsmill gluten free flour. I baked it for 40 mins at 350.
I would appreciate anyoneβs feedback on how to make it moist. Thanks
Hi Lilou, this banana bread recipe is actually a bit dry since it’s rather a healthy whole-grain loaf. If you want it more “cake-like” you should try my chocolate banana bread recipe. You can easily sub the cocoa powder for regular flour.
Super schokoladiges und leckeres Bananenbrot! Das Rezept war auch super easy. Wird wieder gebacken π
Das freut mich sehr zu hΓΆren π Vielen Dank!
Hi Bianca,
dein Schoko-Bananenbrot Rezept ist der Wahnsinn.
Es ist absolut fudgy und ist βeasy peasy Bananabread squeezyβ zuzubereiten! ππ
Ich frage mich die ganze Zeit schon, wie mega gut du deine Fotos bearbeitest! Aber liegt wahrscheinlich auch zum GroΓteil an der Kamera. π€π
Vielen Dank, liebe Marie! Es freut mich immer, wenn es schmeckt π Es ist nicht die Bearbeitung, das Licht und Kamera π
You. Guys. I made this yesterday gluten free and it turned out AMAZING. Super delicious and flavorful and moist. Best of all, it was SO EASY. A lot of times I find vegan baking to be overly complicated or includes weird products youβll never use again. I had everything for this in my pantry already. My mom and sister have allergies to gluten and dairy. Canβt wait to try more recipes!
Thank you so much for your feedback! So happy that you liked my banana bread in the gluten-free version too! Hope you’ll also like the other recipes you’re going to try π
Wow, made this today and it was amazing. Entire family enjoyed it. Loved that is was so easy to make.
Question, what kind of glaze is that shown on the pictures?
Thanks for sharing your recipe. Will definitely be making this again.
So glad that you liked my banana bread recipe too! Thank you π The “glaze” is just melted creamy peanut butter π
Can I use whole wheat flour? Would I need more milk or more oil?
Hi Vanessa, I’ve mentioned that in the recipe notes. If using whole wheat flour it won’t get so fluffy and cake-like as pictured. If the batter seems very thick you can add a little more milk.
I’m a chocoholic and I’m always looking for healthier ways to get my fix. This recipe was perfect! If you bake often, you probably have all the ingredients already. I used dark chocolate cocoa powder and dark chocolate chips. 40 minutes later…chocolaty goodness. Thanks, Bianca!
So happy about that! I’m chocoholic too, haha! π So I know what you mean. Thank you so much π
This recipe is could not be easier and is SO delicious. The chocolate chips on top are a MUST. This recipe will definitely be added into my rotation!
Thank you so much! π
Hey Bianca!
I have to tell you, the cake came out perfectly. Actually, I wanted to do something chocolatey, had some ripe bananas in my fridge so I gave it a try. I modified a little bit your recipe and added a little bit of coffee to enhance flavor and it tourned out great! Very moist and gooey. On the top, I added a salted caramel layer. Even though it was supposed to be a chocolate banana bread, mine went out more like a fudgy brownie. But I mean, the best brownie I ever did! π
Thank you!
I LOVE that idea to add a caramel layer into this banana bread! I will definitely try this too π Thank you so much for the suggestion! π You can never go wrong with a fudgy brownie banana bread, right? π So happy that you liked the recipe <3
I really suck at baking and usually my cakes never turn out that great but this recipe is just awesome. I make it nearly every week and it always turns out perfect! It is simple to make and tastes sooo good. I’ve been asked for the recipe several times already. Thanks Bianca for creating this perfect recipe <3
So happy to hear that! Thank you so much! Itβs also one of my favorite and best vegan recipes and I love making it again and again π
Okay, so, I must admit. The first time I made this recipe I didn’t like it that much. It came out too bitter. But yesterday I decided to remake it and Oh. En. G! I cannot tell you how amazing this recipe is. I stuffed it with extra chocolate chunks. Brought a piece for my best friend who ate it with her boyfriend and both loved it. This will be my go to recipe. Also, so so easy to make. Safe to say, I’ll be making it more often. Thank you for coming out with this recipe.
Thank you so much! So happy that you liked this vegan banana bread too! Maybe you used another type of chocolate or cocoa powder? I found out that some brands taste very bitter for any reason. You should definitely check out which kind of cocoa powder you like best for this chocolate treat! π
That’s what I thought. But I’ll bake another batch tomorrow to take to my sister who just had a baby and who is a chocoholic. I love it so much!
So happy about that! And congrats to your sister for her cute baby! Chocolate is always perfect, right? π Thank you π
Thank you :). The house is smelling amazing. Plus I printed out the recipe for a colleague because I love it so much and want more people to see that vegan foods are amazing, and that you don’t need dairy and eggs to make delicious baked good. Thank you for creating it π
So glad to read that! Thank you so much! π And I totally agree with you. There are so many delicious recipes you can make vegan without using any dairy ingredients, and this banana bread is also one of these yummy treats! Lots of love to you <3
ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS!!! So quick and easy! Perfect for that chocolate craving but not as much guilt π also, made it for my family and they were obsessed the bread didnβt stand a chance, less than 2 days and it was gone!
Thank you so much! So happy that you liked this “healthier chocolate cake” recipe too π
I made this recipe with lactose free milk and it was absolutely delicious!
So glad you liked it! Thank you π
