What you’ll love about this recipe:
INGREDIENTS
- Ripe bananas – the riper the better
- Eggs
- Coconut oil
- Maple syrup
- Almond meal
- Raw cacao powder
- Chocolate chips (vegan or dairy free preferably, but use whichever ones suit your dietary needs)
- Plus a few extra things like baking powder, vanilla extract and cinnamon powder
HOW TO MAKE
So this recipe is really easy to make.
Basically, you mix together your dry ingredients, then you add your wet ingredients and mix thoroughly. Then fold through the choc chip, pour into a lined loaf pan and bake!!
SO EASY!!
Just make sure you use really ripe bananas as it won’t taste nearly as good using non-ripe bananas!
I used vegan dark chocolate chips that I purchased from Newstead Organics! However, you can use any dairy free choc chips!
I baked my chocolate banana bread using a greased and lined loaf pan, but you can also use a silicon loaf pan!
