Summary

Moist, fluffy banana bread studded with gooey vegan chocolate chips, warmly spiced with cinnamon and enriched with vegan butter for a tender, bakery-style crumb.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Mash the bananas in a large mixing bowl until mostly smooth with some small chunks.

  3. 3

    In a small bowl, mix the flaxseed meal with water to make a flax ‘egg’ and let it gel.

  4. 4

    Add the softened vegan butter, coconut sugar, gelled flax mixture, and vanilla extract to the bananas and stir until well combined.

  5. 5

    Sprinkle in the baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and flour. Stir gently until no dry streaks remain; do not overmix.

  6. 6

    Fold in the vegan chocolate chips, reserving a small handful to sprinkle on top.

  7. 7

    Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smooth the top, and scatter the reserved chocolate chips over the surface.

  8. 8

    Bake for 50–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean (melted chocolate smudges are fine).

  9. 9

    Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
