Not all chocolate banana bread recipes are created equal! This recipe, however, is healthier than most because we use whole grain flour and coconut oil.
Ingredients Needed
WET INGREDIENTS
eggs – we haven’t tried this recipe, eggless, but you can always try to sub 2 flax eggs! If you’re looking for a vegan banana bread recipe try ours!
mashed banana – the riper the bananas you use, the sweeter your chocolate banana bread will be.
almond milk – I love the nutty flavor of almond milk, but feel free to use any kind of milk.
vanilla – we used 2 whole teaspoons in this recipe and I absolutely adore the flavor it adds.
coconut oil – coconut oil is a great sub for vegetable oil, but you can always swap if you don’t have any coconut oil on hand!
coconut oil tip!
This recipe calls for melted coconut oil, which means that you should measure your coconut oil after it’s melted.
Coconut oil should be the last thing you mix into your batter so that it doesn’t coagulate with the cooler ingredients.
DRY INGREDIENTS
white whole wheat: this is our absolute favorite flour to make any kind of bread loaf with. We haven’t tested this recipe with anything else, but I’m sure you could sub either all-purpose flour or an all-purpose gluten-free flour blend.
brown sugar: A little bit of brown sugar goes a long way! Classic banana bread calls for brown sugar and that’s why we kept it in this recipe. If you’re looking for a substitution, I’d use coconut sugar or another granular sugar.
cocoa powder: since this is CHOCOLATE banana bread, the cocoa powder is essential! Make sure you look for a cocoa powder that is unsweetened for the best results.
chocolate chips: Don’t skimp on the chocolate chips…is a rule when making banana bread. Just trust me.
