Double Chocolate Banana Bread
This Double Chocolate Banana Bread is a healthy treat for breakfast or dessert! It’s studded with chocolate chips and full of banana flavor!
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.
