Can this vegan chocolate banana bread be made gluten free?
I have not personally tried subbing gluten free flour but my readers have had good results using a gluten free flour blend with my vegan banana bread recipe and I am sure it would be great in this recipe as well.
Pro tips for perfect Vegan Chocolate Banana Bread:
- Use overripe bananas for best banana flavour!
- Don’t over mix the batter but do make sure it is completely mixed
- Lots of chocolate chips!!
- Make sure leavening agents are fresh for a good rise which in this recipe would be baking soda

Notes
- For gluten free vegan chocolate banana bread: I have not personally tried subbing gluten free flour but my readers have had good results using a gluten free flour blend with my vegan banana bread recipe and I am sure it would be great in this recipe as well.
- For a healthier oil free version: you could replace the oil with unsweetened apple sauce.
- I have not tried whole wheat or spelt flour with this recipe nor have I tried this recipe with maple syrup in place of sugar.
- It will keep covered on the counter for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to a week and freezes well. Slice and wrap individually in plastic wrap to freeze.
