Make Egg-Free Chocolate Banana Bread In Only 8 Steps

This recipe uses mashed bananas as a natural binder and sweetener, while vegetable oil provides a tender crumb. Cocoa powder and chocolate chips add a deep, chocolatey taste, making it a satisfying dessert or snack. The bread is typically baked until golden brown, with a slightly crisp top and a soft, gooey center. This egg-free version is perfect for those with dietary restrictions or allergies, yet it retains the comforting, indulgent qualities of traditional banana bread.

1. Ingredients

– 3 ripe bananas, mashed
– 1/2 cup vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
– 1 cup granulated sugar (or coconut sugar)
– 1/4 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1/2 cup cocoa powder

Step 1- Preheat Oven:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.

Step 2- Prepare Wet Ingredients:

In a large bowl, mix the mashed bananas, vegetable oil, granulated sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 3- Combine Dry Ingredients:

In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

Step 4- Mix Ingredients:

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. If using chocolate chips, fold them into the batter at this stage.

Step 6- Bake:

Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs. The top should be firm and slightly cracked.

Step 7- Cool:

Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
