Ingredients:

  • 3 large overripe bananas, mashed (340g)
  • 1/3 cup melted coconut oil (80ml)
  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar (100g)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (125g)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened dark cocoa powder (45g)
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup dark chocolate chips (130g)
  • 1/4 cup crushed walnuts (30g)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper or grease with oil.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas with a fork until smooth.
  3. Whisk in the melted coconut oil, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until the mixture is fully emulsified.
  4. Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt directly into the wet mixture.
  5. Using a spatula, gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet base until no streaks of flour remain; do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the dark chocolate chips and walnuts.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  8. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Allow the bread to cool in the pan before slicing.
