If you are looking for a healthier way to curb your chocolate cravings, you’ve come to the right place. This vegan and gluten free chocolate banana bread tastes like a double chocolate muffin. Luckily, it has way way less calories and fat and absolutely no animal products!
If you choose to make muffins, the baking time will be much faster. I will do that next time because the house smelled too good to wait a full 50 minutes for the bread to bake! The muffins only take about 25 minutes.
If you try this recipe, let me know how it goes! Tag me on Instagram or Facebook, I’d love to see it! =]
I made a video too! You may notice that the recipe is slightly different in the video, just a different amount of baking powder and apple cider vinegar. The recipe below is the updated and tested version.
