I saw a gluten free version of this marbled banana bread on instagram last year and I’ve been thinking about it ever since!
I used my old-school vegan banana bread recipe and altered it a little to work.
You can use a standard 8 x 4 loaf pan but if you’re interested, I used this especially fun fluted loaf pan.
We’re going to keep this one short and simple today! I hope you love this banana bread and if you make it, please snap a photo and tag me on social media @!

The recipe
Marbled Banana Bread (Vegan!) from the Pantry
This swirled VEGAN Banana Bread is simple to make and always a show stopper in the kitchen!
- Serves 1 loaf
- Prep 15 minutes
- Cook 50 minutes
- Total 1 hour
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon of baking soda
- 2 teaspoons of baking powder
- pinch of salt
- ½ cup of maple syrup
- ½ cup of almond milk
- 6 tablespoons of nut butter- I typically use peanut butter
- 1 ½ teaspoons of vanilla extract
- 3 medium extra ripe bananas (mashed)
- 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder
- 2 oz of dark chocolate (melted)
Method
- 1
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F and generously grease an 8 x 4 inch loaf pan.
- 2
Sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt into a large bowl.
- 3
Stir in the milk, nut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and mashed banana. Stir until well combined.
- 4
Spoon about 1/3 of the batter into a separate bowl and mix in the cocoa powder + melted chocolate until only combined. Spoon (or pipe) the 2 separate batters into into the loaf pan (see video for reference) and use a butter knife to lightly swirl the batter together. Don’t swirl too much though or the batter will mix together and you won’t get the marbled effect.
- 5
Bake for 40 minutes. Cover the loaf with foil so the top doesn’t get too brown and bake for an additional 10-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.*

Let cool and ENJOY!!
Cook notes
*you can use a different sized loaf pan but it may affect the bake time. If using an 9×5 inch pan, you will likely need less bake time
