One of the most popular recipes on my blog is of easy vegan chocolate cake. Whoever tried it loved it. Today I am sharing another very easy fail-proof vegan chocolate recipe- Double chocolate banana bread.

It's so delicious and irresistible that whenever I make it I have to hide it somewhere so that my husband doesn't finish it off in one go. He loves chocolates and desserts more than me.

This easy chocolate chip banana bread is soft, moist, and fudgy making it taste like a brownie.

During my grocery shopping, I always buy some extra bananas- more than we can finish easily. This helps me in always having some over-ripe bananas which I use in making this chocolate banana bread or easy banana muffins.

Both these vegan banana dishes can be enjoyed as a snack, breakfast, and also a dessert.

Recipe tips & tricks

  • Use over-ripe bananas in this recipe- the ones which have turned brown from outside.
  • While mashing the bananas make sure there are no big lumps left and the paste is very fine.
  • Adding walnuts is optional. You can use any nut of your choice or completely skip adding nuts.
  • We don't want to over-beat the batter, so don't use an electric mixer or stand mixer. Instead, gently mix the batter manually using a spatula.
  • Adjust the amount of sugar as per your taste. With the amount of sugar that I have mentioned in the recipe, the chocolate banana bread will have moderate sweetness.
  • Use virgin coconut oil so that you don't get its taste in the bread. You can also use any other variety of plant-based butter. Just use it in melted form.
  • If you use hot coconut oil in the recipe, your banana bread will be more moist and soft.
  • Don't over-bake otherwise your bread won't turn out moist. The baking time may vary depending upon different factors like your oven, climate, quality of ingredients, etc. So keep an eye on the bread after 40 minutes and bake until it passes the toothpick test.

How to store and freeze

To store wrap this vegan chocolate banana bread in a cling wrap and put in an airtight container. It will be fine on the countertop for around 2 days (depends on the weather).

In the fridge, it will remain fine for 4-5 days.

If you want to store it for a longer period, cut the slices. Place butter paper between two slices and put in a freezer bag or airtight container. It will be fine for around 3 months.
