Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, mash the overripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
Step 3
Add the brown sugar, unsweetened applesauce, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and eggs (or flax eggs) to the mashed bananas. Mix well until all the ingredients are combined.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Step 6
Fold the dairy-free chocolate chips into the batter.
Step 7
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for about 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 9
Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Slice and serve the chocolate banana bread room temperature or slightly warm. Store any leftovers in an airtight container.
