  • ¼ cup coconut milk
  • 1 tbsp instant espresso powder
  • 1 tsp cocoa powder
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.

  • Mash the bananas in a large bowl until smooth.
  • Stir in melted coconut oil, coconut sugar, flax eggs, and vanilla extract.
  • Whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a separate bowl.
  • Slowly add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
  • For the mocha filling, heat coconut milk in a small saucepan over low heat.
  • Remove from heat and stir in chocolate chips, espresso powder, cocoa, and vanilla.
  • Mix until smooth and glossy. Try not to eat it all.
  • Pour half of the banana batter into the loaf pan.
  • Spread the mocha filling evenly over the batter.
  • Top with the remaining banana mixture and swirl with a knife.
  • Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Cool for 15 minutes before slicing—if you can wait that long.

Additional Notes/Tips to Enhance the Flavor

  • Extra crunch? Toss in chopped walnuts or pecans.
  • Stronger coffee flavor? Add an extra teaspoon of espresso powder.
  • No coconut oil? Use melted vegan butter or olive oil.
  • For a bakery-style crust, sprinkle coconut sugar on top before baking.
Slice it up, pour some coffee, and enjoy your vegan banana bread with mocha filling—because plant-based should never mean boring.
