Ingredients
- 4 to 5 bananas overly ripe
- 1 cup coconut palm sugar or turbinano
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 cup vegan chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup nuts chopped walnuts or pecans work best
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350. Mash bananas in a large bowl, add coconut palm sugar and vanilla. Mix with a hand mixer, adding the water as you mix.
- In another bowl, mix the whole wheat flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and baking powder. Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, and fully mix with a fork or spatula.
- With the fork/spatula mix in the chocolate chips and nuts.
- Pour the batter into a nonstick loaf pan. Bake for 55-65 minutes but start checking with a cake tester after about 50 minutes. The cake tester should come out clean and the bread should start slightly splitting on the top. Let it cool before cutting.
Notes
* You can increase the amount of nuts to 1/3 or even 1/2 depending on preference. Sometimes I like to add more just for a little change.
