Scale
1 1/3 cup mashed very ripe bananas (about 2 medium)1/4 cup honey2 eggs1 tsp pure vanilla extract1 cup almond flour, packed1/3 cup unsweetened cacao powder (see notes if using cocoa instead of cacao)1 tsp baking soda (make sure it's fresh, see notes)1/4 tsp salt1/2 cup dark chocolate chips, divided (I use Hu no added sugar choc chips)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×5 inch glass loaf pan with coconut oil or line with parchment paper. Parchment paper makes it easier to remove bread.
- Mash your banana well, ensuring there are no large chunks.
- In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas, honey, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
- In a separate bowl, combine the almond flour, cacao powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Fold 1/4 cup choc chips, saving the rest for later.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth out the top.
- Sprinkle the rest of the choc chips on top of the batter.
- Bake for 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean (test a couple spots in case you accidentally poke a chocolate chip in the bread since it would be melted). Time will vary if using metal instead of glass (metal heats up quicker so it may be more like 45-50 minutes).
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 30 minutes, then remove from the pan and cool on a wire rack.

Notes
If using cocoa instead of cacao, increase to 1/2 cup.
It’s important to always use fresh baking soda for any recipe! Don’t use baking soda that is older than 1 month. When you open your container of baking soda, write the date on the container. Once a month has passed, replace the container with a new one (instead of throwing mine out, I just put it in my refrigerator because it helps keep the refrigerator smelling fresh).
