Ingredients

• 3 Ripe bananas
• 0.25 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 0.5 cup Maple syrup
• 0.25 cup Coconut oil, melted
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1.75 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 3 tablespoons Cocoa powder
• 0.25 cup Dark chocolate chips (vegan)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the almond milk, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Transfer 1 cup of the batter into a smaller bowl and mix in the cocoa powder until evenly incorporated.

Step 6

Pour half of the plain banana batter into the prepared loaf pan. Add dollops of the chocolate batter on top, followed by the remaining plain batter. Use a knife or skewer to swirl the batters together, creating a marbled effect.

Step 7

Optional: Sprinkle the vegan dark chocolate chips on top for extra flavor and texture.

Step 8

Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Let the banana bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 10

Enjoy your marbled chocolate banana bread as a delicious vegan treat!
