I used my classic vegan banana bread recipe and altered it a little to work.

You can use a standard 8 x 4 loaf pan but if you’re interested, I used this super fun fluted loaf pan.

We’re going to keep this one short and simple today! I hope you love this banana bread and if you make it, please snap a photo and tag me on social media @foodwithfeeling!

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon of baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons of baking powder
  • pinch of salt
  • ½ cup of maple syrup
  • ½ cup of almond milk
  • 6 tablespoons of nut butter- I typically use peanut butter
  • 1 ½ teaspoons of vanilla extract
  • 3 medium extra ripe bananas mashed
  • 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder
  • 2 oz of dark chocolate melted

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F and generously grease an 8 x 4 inch loaf pan.
  • Sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt into a large bowl.
  • Stir in the milk, nut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and mashed banana. Stir until well combined.
  • Spoon about 1/3 of the batter into a separate bowl and mix in the cocoa powder + melted chocolate until just combined. Spoon (or pipe) the 2 separate batters into into the loaf pan (see video for reference) and use a butter knife to lightly swirl the batter together. Don’t swirl too much though or the batter will mix together and you won’t get the marbled effect.
  • Bake for 40 minutes. Cover the loaf with foil so the top doesn’t get too brown and bake for an additional 10-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.*
  • Let cool and ENJOY!!

Notes

*you can use a different sized loaf pan but it may affect the bake time. If using an 9×5 inch pan, you will likely need less bake time
