Ingredients

  • 1 Cup Whole Wheat Flour
  • Nonstick cooking spray, for greasing pan
  • ½ Cup Dutch-process Cocoa Powder or any cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda
  • ½ Tsp Fine Sea Salt
  • 3 Large Very Ripe Bananas peeled
  • Cup Coconut Oil melted
  • ½ Cup Maple Syrup
  • 1 Large Egg at room temperature
  • 1 Tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
  • ¾ Cup Sugar-free dark chocolate chips Divided

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350° F. Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray. Set
    aside.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set
    aside.
  • In a blender, add the bananas, coconut oil, maple syrup, and egg. Pulse, scraping down the inside of the blender as necessary until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture and pulse a few times, until the dry ingredients are incorporated. Do not over mix. Fold in 1/2 cup of the chocolate chips.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, and smooth the top with a rubber spatula. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup chocolate chips over the top.
  • Transfer to the preheated oven and bake for 50-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean, without any moist batter. A few crumbs and melted chocolate are fine, as long as there is no raw batter.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Run a knife along the edges of the pan to loosen the banana bread, and carefully invert it onto the wire rack.
  • Cool the banana bread on the wire rack until slightly warm before cutting it into slices.
