Let me show you how to make it taste so good!

This Chocolate chip banana bread recipe is moist, fluffy, and so delicious. It’s so easy to make the bread fluffy and rich and still keep it vegan. Just get your favorite vegan butter and and sugar and cream them together first. This creates an airy fluffiness into your yeast free vegan bread I’ll explain more in this post.
Stir in the chocolate chips
I always cream the butter in the chocolate chip banana bread recipe. That’s because it’s really the best and only way to create fluffy bread that is vegan and yeast free. Creaming the Butter means beating the butter and sugar together until the sugar is dissolved and thoroughly combined. This works with vegan butter as well what it does is create air bubbles in the butter and help dispersed the sugar thoroughly as well.
Use a food processor to blend of the bananas into a purée
Add the vanilla extract, baking soda, salt, and flour into the processor and pulse a few times until it becomes smooth.
In a separate large mixing bowl cream (beat) the vegan butter and the coconut sugar until it’s thoroughly combined thick and fluffy.
Slowly beat the banana flour mixture from the food processor into the mixing bowl with the beaten butter until your batter is thoroughly combined and smooth.
Bake the chocolate chip banana bread recipe for 45 minutes then allow it to rest for 20 minutes.
