Equipment

  • loaf pan
  • whisk

Ingredients
  

  • 3 bananas mashed
  • ⅓ cup unsalted butter melted
  • ⅓ cup maple syrup
  • 2 eggs (large) beaten
  • ⅓ cup almond butter stirred
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups whole wheat all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ cup cacao powder can substitute unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ cup dark chocolate chips plus extra for topping

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mash the bananas in a large bowl.
  • Whisk together the melted butter, maple syrup, eggs, almond butter and vanilla with the bananas.
  • Whisk in the flour and cacao until the mixture is just combined.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips with a silicone spatula reserving some for the top. Pour into a lightly greased 9x5 loaf pan. Sprinkle the additional chocolate chips to cover the top.
  • Bake for 40-50 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs. Allow to cool and then slice and enjoy!

Notes

 
  • This recipe can be kept in a cool dry place in your kitchen for about 2 days in an airtight container. You can also store it in the refrigerator for a week if you prefer. You can also freeze it for 3 months. If I make a loaf to freeze, I like to pre-slice it so it’s easier to thaw a portion at a time.
  • Try not to overmix this recipe or the texture will be tough instead of cakey and fudgy.
