Double Chocolate Espresso Banana Bread Recipe
Because your coffee addiction and chocolate obsession deserve to be baked into a moist, glorious loaf of vegan brilliance.
Let’s skip the small talk—you’re tired, caffeinated, and slightly feral. This banana bread is rich, bold, and double the chocolate because obviously. The espresso? She’s strong, dark, and emotionally stable. You? Not so much—but at least your baking game is. With every bite, you get fudgy banana goodness, melty chocolate bits, and a subtle coffee kick strong enough to revive your soul (or at least your inbox stamina). It’s not breakfast, it’s a mood. It’s indulgent, dramatic, and still somehow dairy-free. Girl math says it counts as fruit. Let’s bake it before we spiral.
Double Chocolate Espresso Banana Bread Recipe
This bold, rich vegan banana bread combines espresso, cocoa powder, and chocolate chips for a decadent, soul-awakening twist on a classic.
Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas mashed
- 1/3 cup melted coconut oil
- 1/2 cup organic cane sugar
- 1/4 cup brewed espresso cooled
- 1/4 cup unsweetened plant milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking soda

- 3/4 cup vegan chocolate chips plus extra for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease or line your loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, mash the bananas until creamy but still slightly lumpy.
- Add coconut oil, sugar, espresso, plant milk, and vanilla. Stir until blended and smooth-ish.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Combine wet and dry mixtures. Mix until just incorporated. No need to beat it like it owes you money.
- Fold in chocolate chips gently. Save some for the top because aesthetics matter.
- Pour batter into the pan and smooth the surface like a red carpet.
- Sprinkle remaining chips on top like you’re manifesting better mornings.
- Bake for 50–55 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with minimal drama.
- Let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a rack.
- Slice, serve, and try not to eat the entire loaf in one emotional sitting.
