Equipment
- 9x5-inch loaf pan
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cups whole wheat flour
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- ½ tsp. salt
- 2 overripe bananas (mashed)
- ½ cup pure maple syrup
- ¼ cup avocado oil (or melted coconut oil)
- ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips (divided, preferably at least 70% cocoa)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, add flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt and whisk to combine.
- In a large bowl, add mashed bananas, maple syrup, avocado oil, Greek yogurt, eggs and vanilla extract. Stir to combine.
- Add dry ingredients to the bowl with wet ingredients and stir until combined, being careful to not overmix.
- Gently fold in ¾ cup of dark chocolate chips.
- Pour mixture into prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle remaining ¼ cup dark chocolate chips on top and bake in preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, until a toothpick placed in the center comes out with just a few wet crumbles. The top will spring back when lightly pressed.
- Remove from oven and let cool. Slice and enjoy!
Notes
- If you don't have Greek yogurt, you can use milk.
- Other delicious add-in's: 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans!
- This bread tastes even more decadent the next day! Store in an airtight container for 2 days on the counter and an extra day in the fridge.
