Clean Banana Bread


  • ½ cup whole wheat pastry flour (or for gluten free coconut flour)
  • ½ cup almond flour
  • 1 cup very ripe banana mashed well with a fork (2-3 medium bananas)
  • 1/3 cup  coconut oil melted (or 1/2 cup butter can be used)
  • ¼ cup chocolate chips or cocoa nibs
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¾ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ cup honey or agave or ¼ teaspoon no additive liquid stevia
  • 4 eggs
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease a 8.5 x 4.5 loaf pan
  2. In a medium sized mixer bowl combine all the ingredients together and mix on medium until batter looks smooth and combined.
  3. Spoon all of the bater in your greased loaf pan and spread it out evenly with a scraper.
  4. Sprinkle in chocolate chips (I found my chocolate all hit the bottom if I added it earlier)
  5. Place in the oven for 40-45 minutes or until the center is pierced with a toothpick and the toothpick comes out clean. 
  6. Pull out of the oven and let it cool slightly (only for a minute or so) then carefully run a knife along the edges to make sure nothing is sticking and cautiously invert it onto your hand or a wire rack and flip it so the bottom is laying flat on the wire rack and let it cool for 20-30 minutes.
