    Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

    Jump to Recipe

    This Chocolate Chip Banana Bread is light and fluffy and studded with so many melty vegan chocolate chips. This loaf is the perfect combo of warm and cozy meets decadent. Serve this loaf for breakfast, as a snack or even a dessert treat…

    Baking is comfort food, not just for the end result, but just by way of the process. The meditative work of whisking and watching ingredients combine from the ground up, the hissing oven heating up to a warm golden-red glow, then of course the aromatherapy of vanilla, cinnamon and chocolate flavors all swirling through the air as you wait for your goodies to bake. And that final hug, pulling your baked goods from the oven, cradling them in a soft oven mitt and watching as the fluffy, delicate warmth cools just enough for you to dive into the still-oven-warm goodness.

    ..and add melty chocolate chips to the mix for maximum comfy-food goodness.

    Banana bread always feels like that recipe you make when you have let your bananas go a bit too long in the fruit bowl. Those black spots spread and darken and suddenly your banana peel feels to squishy to peel for banana slicing and even too soft to pop in the freezer for banana smoothies. So, heck, in an attempt to not waste food…. banana bread! Right?

    I actually rarely make banana bread in any other case than this. And I very rarely wait for my bananas to go mushy and black-spotted on purpose. So in that effect, banana bread feels like a magical, coincidental treat that the universe just stuck into your “to-do” list to give you a break from reality and a date with your oven.

    A few other loaf recipes I love to make include:

    – pumpkin chocolate chip loaf
    – corn muffins – could totally be made into squares or a loaf
    – cranberry sparkle loaf
    – blueberry muffin loaf
    – apple banana bread with almond butter drizzle

    Any of these baked goods pair so well with a latte or coffee – or one of these “not coffee” lattes:

    Happy baking everyone!
