Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F (175C) and butter a loaf pan.
- Gather dry ingredients. Sift cocoa powder into the all-purpose flour, then add baking soda, cinnamon powder, nutmeg powder and salt to that same bowl. Mix to combine them evenly.
- In a mixing bowl, mash bananas until there's no big lumps. Add the melted butter and stir well to combine. Then stir in the egg and sugar. Alternatively, you can quickly combine the bananas, eggs and melted butter in a blender for a few seconds.
- Add the flour mixture and chopped walnuts to the wet ingredients. With a wooden spoon or spatula, gently mix to combine. Do not over-mix.
- Pour the batter into the loaf pan. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the bread cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes. After that, remove the bread from the pan and let it cool completely on a cooling rack.
Notes
- For a dairy-free option, you can use 1/4 cup of oil instead of melted butter. The bread made with oil is also very delicious, but the one made with butter will have lighter crumbs.
- I use a 4''x8'' loaf pan. You can also use this recipe to bake into chocolate muffins. Adjust baking time as needed.
- I personally think half a cup of sugar provides enough sweetness for the bread. Consuming less sugar will make our body happier :).
- If you want more or less spice aroma, you can increase or reduce cinnamon powder and nutmeg powder by 1/4 teaspoon each. Also feel free to throw in some chocolate chips.
