Banana bread has a special place in my heart.
Why? Well, it’s simple, it’s not every day that you find something that is the perfect combination of bread and cake, right?
I ❤ it toasted and served with butter on a lazy Sunday morning.
This time I decided to level it up by adding walnuts and dark chocolate chips.
Boy, that was heaven! You gotta try this banana bread with chocolate chips yourself! 😜
Ingredients
- ⅔ cup (80 grams) of sesame seeds
- 6 medium eggs
- ½ cup (85 grams) of coconut oil, melted
- 1 tablespoon of honey (or any sweetener you like)
- 2 tablespoons of vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup (40 grams) coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon of psyllium husks
- 1 tablespoon of cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons of baking powder
- A pinch of salt
- 2 medium (300 grams or 1 cup) overripe bananas, chopped
- ½ cup (55 grams) of 85% dark chocolate, chopped
- ½ cup (85 grams) of walnuts, chopped
Directions
- In a food processor add the sesame seeds and process for 4 minutes. ⏰
- Then, add eggs, coconut oil, honey, vanilla extract and mix them for more 5 minutes. ⏰
- Next, add the coconut flour, baking powder, psyllium husks, cinnamon, and salt.
Mix just enough to incorporate all ingredients. - Finally, add bananas, chocolate chips, walnuts, and stir gently using a spoon.
- Grease a cake pan with coconut oil and cover it with a baking sheet. We used a 20cm loaf pan here.
Then, add in the batter. - In a preheated oven to 180°C (356°F), bake it for 45 minutes. ⏰
- You’ll also know when it’s ready if you can do the toothpick test on it:
Insert a toothpick into the centre of the cake and it should come out clean. - IT’S DONE! 🎉
Enjoy your banana bread with chocolate chips!
Tip: trying to reduce your daily intake of carbs?
You can make a version that is even lower in carbs by replacing honey with an artificial sweetener of your choice.
