Choc Walnut Banana Bread

I loooooove banana bread! I’ve got a few different variations in the “Recipe Vault” inside our Ending Body Burnout Method . Here’s a new one to try! 🙂

Ingredients

• 3 very ripe large bananas, mashed (about 1 1/3 cup mashed banana)
• 2 eggs
• ⅓ cup pure maple syrup 
• ½ cup almond milk
• 1 ¾ cup spelt flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 6 tablespoons coconut oil, melted and cooled
• ½ cup chopped walnuts
• ½ cup vegan chocolate chips

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 180 degrees C. Line a 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch pan with parchment paper and grease the inside of the pan to prevent sticking.
• In a large bowl mix together the mashed banana, eggs, maple syrup,milk and vanilla extract to a bowl until well combined. 
• In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: spelt flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix!
• Next, mix in the melted and cooled coconut oil, then walnuts and chocolate chips.
• Add batter into prepared pan. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a tester inserted into the middle comes out clean or with just a few crumbs attached. Allow bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove and transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
