Chocolate Banana Bread
Description
The Chocolate Banana Bread uses a combination of all-purpose or whole wheat pastry flour with cocoa powder and baking soda as leavening. Coconut sugar adds a caramel-like sweetness while coconut oil and mashed bananas supply moisture and richness. Greek yogurt contributes to the tender crumb and texture. The batter gently folds in chocolate chips, then bakes in a loaf pan until a toothpick comes out clean. Extra chips on top slightly melt, creating a chocolatey crust.
The result is a sweet, moist bread balancing banana and chocolate flavors. This loaf slices well for breakfast or snacks, pairing nicely with coffee or tea.
Letting the bread cool first in the pan then on a rack ensures slices hold shape without crumbling. Avoid overmixing the batter to maintain a tender texture.
