the chocolate/banana bread obsession continues with this one 🍌 🍫 [~50 CAL PER SLICE🤩] I think this is my fav recipe to top my yogurt bowls with so far! So fudgy and rich, definitely give it a try!!
Ingredients
- Bananas- essential for banana bread! Also helps provide structure and adds tons of benefits like potassium.
- Eggs- helps create structure! Can sub for flax egg if vegan.
- Granulated Sweetener- I used monk fruit sweetener; can replace with any granulated sweetener, but it will affect nutritional value unless it’s a zero calorie alternative.
- Vanilla Extract- helps add flavor!
- Cocoa Powder- I used Hershey’s special dark cocoa because I like a cake that’s darker and more rich.
- Coconut Flour- probably my favorite flour! It has a high protein and fiber content, and is super absorbent, meaning you need less of it (this ingredient is very difficult to substitute).
- Baking Soda- leavening agent to help banana bread rise.
- Salt- helps enhance flavor.
- Chocolate Chips (optional)- help add an extra something!
