    If you love all things banana bread and chocolate cake, I think you'll also love this vegan chocolate banana bread which is beautifully soft and topped with a thick and flavorful Biscoff glaze.

    You'll be glad to know that this easy banana treat takes less than 30 minutes to make from start to finish. It tastes great and there aren't many simpler banana bread loaf recipes out there.

    • Soft Vegan Chocolate Banana Bread with Biscoff Glaze

    Why You Will Love This Banana Bread

    • The Best Texture - Out of all the chocolate cakes that I have made, the texture on these chocolate banana bread loaves is one of the best. It's so light and incredibly fluffy. The warm chocolate chips inside the cakes definitely enhance the positive outcome further.
    • Amazing Topping - The Biscoff glaze is another fantastic feature of the cake. Not only is it thick, but it is also sweet and autumnal in flavor. It only requires three ingredients too. It's similar to the popular Lotus Biscoff glaze that I made for my vegan biscoff banana cake and vegan gingerbread loaf cake.
    • Easy to Make - This chocolate banana bread recipe is super simple all the way through making it. Add the wet cake ingredients to the dry ingredients inside a large bowl and fold to create a smooth, chocolatey batter. Pour into two loaf pans and bake. Let the two cakes cool and top with glaze.
    • Allergy Friendly & Plant Based - This vegan chocolate banana bread recipe is entirely vegan and dairy free.

    Ingredient Notes

    The ingredients needed to make my vegan chocolate banana breads standing on a white marble backdrop.
    • Apple cider vinegar - This will be used as an important ingredient for the vegan buttermilk. To make the dairy-free buttermilk, simply stir the apple cider vinegar into the soy milk and let it curdle. This mixture is a major reason as to why this banana cake has such an amazing texture.
    • Large, very ripe bananas - Make sure that the bananas you use for these chocolate banana bread are ripe, like I did for my vegan banana mug cake and vegan blueberry banana cake recipes, as they enhance the flavors massively, as opposed to non-ripe ones.
    • Cocoa powder - Any cocoa powder can be used, but the higher the quality of cocoa powder that you use, the better the chocolate cakes will taste. If you love a rich chocolate cake, you should definitely use a high-quality cocoa powder.
    • Canola oil - Yes, this is the same type of oil as rapeseed oil. Along with the apple cider vinegar, this also helps to give the chocolate banana bread its signature, moist texture.
    • Biscoff spread - This speculoos spread will be mixed into the glaze to create the Biscoff glaze topping.

    See recipe card for full information on individual ingredients and quantities.

    Substitutions & Variations

    • If you'd like to make the vegan chocolate banana bread a little bit healthier, you can easily swap the chocolate chips for chopped nuts. The type of nuts that you use is completely your choice. I love to add finely chopped walnuts, chipped hazelnuts, chopped almond or pecans to mine. Whichever ones you choose, this makes a nice change to the chocolate chips. See my vegan maple pecan cake for more nut-filled cake inspiration.
    • If you can't find Lotus Biscoff spread where you live, don't worry. You can swap it out for a vegan cookie butter instead. Cookie butter has a very similar consistency to Biscoff spread and makes the perfect substitute. It's so creamy, thick and delicious.

    Expert Tips

    Use very ripe bananas - As you know, ripe bananas with give you a flavorful chocolate banana bread with a great texture. The ripe bananas also have another great property, which not everybody knows about. They make a great egg replacer in vegan baking and help to produce some of the softest cakes.

    Don't over-mix the batter - Fold the banana bread batter until it is just combined. Don't mix unnecessarily. This will ruin the texture of the cake. It will be dense and chewy, instead of airy and moist.
