Ingredients
- 1 cup white whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 banana
- 1/4 cup yogurt
- 1/3 cup avocado oil
- 1/4 cup maple syrup or agave syrup
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cups chocolate chips I used semi-sweet mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven at 350°F (175°C). Also, grease a 9×5 loaf pan or use a parchment paper and cover the pan insides.
- Take a large bowl and add the dry ingredients – whole wheat flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt. Once you have mixed all the dry ingredients well, set them aside.
- Take another large bowl, add the peeled banana. Mash them well, but if you like them a little bit chunky, then just mash them coarsely.
- Then add yogurt, oil, maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix all of them together.
- Then fold the dry ingredients in to the wet ingredients with a spatula. Do not overmix.
- At last, add those chocolate chips for that chocolaty goodness. Save some of the chocolate chips to add on top of the batter once you have poured it into the pan.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. Spread the chocolate chips evenly over the batter.
- Slide the pan into the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes. Insert a toothpick to check whether the bread is done. If the toothpick comes out clean, take out the pan and let it cool for about 10 minutes.
- Remove the banana bread from the pan and place it on the wire rack.
- Slice and enjoy this healthy banana bread.
