This marbled banana bread recipe is dairy-free, egg-free, and completely vegan, and trust us, everyone will want a piece. Classic banana bread with a chocolate twist not only tastes delicious but also looks like a work of art, and vegan banana bread is no different.

This banana bread is as rich and decadent as the non-vegan kind, and the health benefits of its ingredients make it the perfect breakfast, on-the-go snack, or to enjoy with a warm cup of coffee or tea. 

Because the ripe bananas replace the oil and some of the sugar, this recipe is oil-free and especially healthful. You can also dial back the sugar based on how ripe the bananas are, and your own personal desire for less sweet dough.

This recipe with a chocolate twist serves 10 to 12 people and slices are also easy to wrap and freeze, then microwave or toast later when you need a quick snack.

This recipe takes approximately ten minutes to prepare and 45 to 50 minutes to bake. But during baking time, your kitchen will fill with an irresistible aroma and everyone will ask, “What’s in the oven?”
