INGREDIENTS:
- 1/2 cup Coconut Oil (Not Melted), Softened Butter or Shortening
- 1 cup Granulated Sugar
- 4 whole Large Bananas, Mashed
- 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
- 1 3/4 cup All-Purpose Flour or Whole Wheat Pastry Flour
- 1/3 cup Cocoa Powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1/2 teaspoon Sea Salt
- 2 tablespoons Strong Brewed Coffee
- 1 cup Dark or Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
- 1/2 cup Nuts, Chopped (I used Walnuts, Optional)
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Grease a 9"x5"x3" loaf pan.
- Beat coconut oil, butter or shortening while slowly adding sugar. Beat until well creamed.
- Add eggs one at a time beating well between each addition.
- Add mashed bananas, vanilla and blend well.
- Add flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, coffee, 3/4 cup chocolate chips and nuts. Mix on low speed until blended.
- Pour chocolate banana bread batter into greased loaf pan. Push batter into the corners of the loaf pan leaving the center slightly hallowed. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup chocolate chips. For a well rounded loaf allow batter to rest 20 minutes before baking.
- While batter rests preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Bake bread for 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of loaf comes out clean.
- Allow loaf to cool completely before slicing.
