Double Chocolate Vegan Banana Bread

This Vegan Banana Bread is DOUBLE the chocolate, which in my book means DOUBLE the fun, don’t ya agree?! Anything double chocolate and I’m down, so sign me up! This banana bread is also gluten free, refined sugar free, and all plant based. I used the brand new Ancient Nutrition Chocolate Plant Protein Powder. 

Vegan Banana Bread Breakdown

This vegan banana bread gets a ton of the sweetness from the bananas, and it’s just as good for breakfast as it is for dessert – the ingredients are that clean! I absolutely love the double chocolate aspect of this as well from the chocolate protein powder and the Lily’s Dark Chocolate Bar! Let’s break it down!

• Flour: For the bulk of this bread, I used almond flour – it’s a high protein and high fiber flour which I love and makes it super filling and delicious!
• Sweetener: To sweeten this up, I used the combination of the banana and the monk fruit. Monk fruit is my favorite sweetener because the glycemic index is 1, meaning it’s not going to spike your blood sugar!
• Chocolate: The chocolate in this recipe comes from the Lily’s Dark Chocolate Bar which is both vegan and stevia sweetened (sugar free), as well as the Ancient Nutrition Plant Based Chocolate Protein Powder, which adds in some protein as well!
