. chocolate chip banana bread .

It’s hard to go wrong with the combination of bananas and chocolate, especially when it comes in the form of a deliciously dense loaf of bread that isn’t overly sweet or heavy feeling. In other words, it’s relatively healthy without seeming so.

Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

Ingredients (makes one 9 x 5 loaf)

  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • ½ cup whole wheat flour
  • 1½ tsp. baking soda
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  • ½ tsp. sea salt
  • ¼ cup coconut oil, melted
  • 2 large, ripe bananas (~1 cup mashed)
  • ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • ½ cup chocolate chips

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350ºF, and lightly grease a 9 x 5 bread pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine flours, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until well combined and set aside.
  3. Melt your coconut oil by placing it in a microwave safe dish and heating for 15 seconds. Remove, stir, and repeat until no chunks remain.
  4. In a medium sized bowl, combine the mashed bananas, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, egg, and vanilla. Stir until well combined before adding the melted coconut oil.
  5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir gently. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in chocolate chips, mixing lightly.
  7. Pour the batter into the loaf pan, spreading it out evenly, and bake for 40 minutes.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool for about 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
