A quick and easy vegan banana bread recipe that is moist, tender, and studded with melty vegan chocolate chips. Perfect for a homemade treat that’s both comforting and plant-based.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (190 g)
  • ½ cup brown sugar (100 g)
  • 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • ¼ cup avocado oil (60 ml)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup vegan chocolate chips (90 g)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal with 3 tablespoons water. Stir well and set aside for 5 minutes until thickened.
  3. In a mixing bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas with a fork until mostly smooth with some small lumps.
  4. Add the flax egg, ¼ cup avocado oil, ½ cup brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Mix until just combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
  6. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in two batches, folding gently with a spatula until just incorporated.
  7. Fold in ½ cup vegan chocolate chips, reserving a few to sprinkle on top if desired.
  8. Transfer the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top and sprinkle remaining chocolate chips on top.
  9. Bake for 50-60 minutes, starting to check at 50 minutes with a toothpick. It should come out with moist crumbs but no wet batter.
  10. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense bread. Let the flaxseed mixture thicken properly before adding. If the bread browns too quickly, tent with foil halfway through baking. Check doneness with a toothpick starting at 50 minutes. For gluten-free, substitute flour with a gluten-free blend and add xanthan gum if needed. Optional mix-ins include chopped nuts or dried fruit.
