Equipment

1 Loaf baking pan

2 Mixing bowl

1 Whisk

Ingredients

300 g bananas overripe (3 large, 4 medium)
3 large eggs
80 g date paste or date syrup, maple syrup
50 ml ghee butter or coconut or avocado oil
½ tsp vanilla bean paste vanilla bean paste
250 g almond flour
40 g Raw cocoa powder unsweetened
½ tbsp baking powder gluten-free
1 tsp baking soda
pinch salt
100 g Dark chocolate chips dark (or dark chopped chocolate)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 230°C (446°F). Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
Mash the Bananas: Mash the bananas until smooth and creamy in a large mixing bowl. Add the baking soda and set aside
Whisk Wet Ingredients: Add the beaten eggs, date paste, melted and cooled ghee butter, and vanilla extract to the bananas. Whisk until combined.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
Mix Wet and Dry: Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Stir until just combined—don’t overmix!
Add Chocolate Chips: Fold dark chocolate chips for gooey goodness. Keep a handful for topping.
Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top. Bake for the first 15 minutes at 230°C (446°F), then reduce the heat to 175°C(347°F) and continue baking for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.
Cool and Slice: Let the banana bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Enjoy!

Notes

Use Ripe Bananas: The riper, the better. Dark, spotty bananas add maximum natural sweetness.

Don’t Overmix: Overmixing can make gluten-free bread dense. Stir until just combined.

Choose Quality Chocolate: Use dark chocolate chips or chopped chocolate for the best flavour.

Let It Cool: Gluten-free bread sets as it cools. Wait before slicing to avoid crumbling.

Extra Addings: Add chopped walnuts, pecans, or extra chocolate chips.
