Cook Time: 50 minutes

Total Time: 1 hour

Ingredients

  • 3 very overripe small bananas or 2 larger ones (mashed)
  • 3 large eggs (room temp)
  • 1/4 cup raw honey
  • 1/4 cup full-fat coconut milk room temp, blend first if separated
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup coconut flour sifted
  • 2 tbsp tapioca flour
  • 6 Tbsp raw cacao powder sifted
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips or paleo chocolate chunks* divided

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and line a medium loaf pan with parchment paper.

2. Gently whisk together all dry ingredients (except chocolate chips) in a mixing bowl – make sure to sift the coconut flour and cacao powder before mixing, since they can be lumpy.

3. In a larger mixing bowl, whisk the mashed bananas with the eggs, coconut milk, honey and vanilla. Wet ingredients should be as close to room temp as possible before starting.

4. Gently stir the dry ingredients into the wet using a spatula or wooden spoon – batter should not be vigorously mixed or blended since this interferes with the bread rising. The batter should be relatively thick and lumpy once combined.
5. Stir in about 1/3 cup of chocolate chips, then transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan, spreading evenly. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips over the top.
