Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

1 2/3 cup overripe mashed red banana

  • 2 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup canned coconut milk
  • 3 1/2 tbsp melted coconut butter OR 2 tbsp milk of choice
  • 2/3 cup of raw manuka honey or agave
  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar OR raw manuka honey or agave
  • 1 3/4 cup spelt flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 3/4 tsp aluminum-free baking powder
  • 1/2 cup plus 2 tbsp raw organic cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips in the batter plus regular chips for decoration, optional

Instructions
 

Measure banana after mashing, not before. Be sure it's mashed well.

    Preheat oven to 350 F and grease a 9×5 loaf pan very well, going up the sides.

    • In a large mixing bowl, combine together all the ingredients from banana to the sugar or additional sweetener (the first 6 ingredients).
    • In a separate bowl, combine all the remaining ingredients and stir very well, making sure there are no lumps from the flour
    • Pour the dry ingredients into wet ingredients, and stir until just evenly combined. Do Not Over mix.
    • Transfer the batter to the loaf pan and spread out evenly. If you want, sprinkle some chocolate chips over the top of the banana bread and press down.
    • Bake 35 minutes. Then turn off the oven but DON’T open the door! Let it sit 10 additional minutes in the closed oven before removing and slicing.
    • This banana bread tastes even sweeter the next day, and it freezes well after slicing.

    Notes

    A chocolatey & extra moist homemade chocolate banana bread that you can eat for breakfast or dessert! Feel free to mix up the recipe however you like: with nuts, shredded coconut, or even minus the chocolate chips. I personally love mine with a glass of my homemade walnut milk and/or a la mode with some of my delicious homemade healthy ice-cream! Enjoy!
