3 ripe bananas mashed and ready for their moment
1/3 cup coconut oil melted, like your heart after one bite
1/2 cup brown sugar unapologetically sweet
1/4 cup plant-based milk oat, almond, cashew—whatever
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon optional, but we love a little spice
3/4 cup dark chocolate chunks chopped from a bar or from that one emergency stash

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line your loaf pan—pretend you’re Martha Stewart.
Mash bananas in a large bowl until mostly smooth (lumps = character).
Add melted oil, sugar, milk, and vanilla to the bananas. Stir like it’s therapy.
In another bowl, mix flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Keep it fluffy and judgment-free.
Combine dry ingredients with the wet mixture. Stir gently—this isn’t a gym.
Fold in dark chocolate chunks with intention. Don’t overmix unless you enjoy heartbreak.
Pour batter into the loaf pan and smooth the top like a boss.
Bake for 50–55 minutes. A toothpick should come out clean (except for melty chocolate, obviously).
Let it cool for 10 minutes in the pan. Try not to slice it while it's molten.
