DARK CHOCOLATE BANANA BREAD

Banana bread is the ultimate comfort food. Its soft and gooey and sweet. Add dark chocolate and cup of coffee and you got yourself a cozy fireside experience. And guess what? This banana bread is gluten and grain free has no sugar added! Yes, you have the natural sugars from the banana, if you are a stickler for no fruit, add banana extract instead of the actual bananas. Enjoy (and save me a slice!)

Ingredients

1.5 cups almond flour

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1.5 tsp baking powder

1 tsp salt

1/2 cup full fat plain greek yogurt

1/2 cup alternative sweetener of your choice (we recommend Lakanto Monkfruit Sweetner)

1 large egg

1 TBS vanilla extract

1/2 cup whole full fat milk

2-3 very ripe bananas (must be a deep yellow with some brown spots, you don’t want to use starchy green bananas)

OPTIONAL: 1 cup of sugar free dark chocolate chips (we recommend Lilly’s sugar free chocolate chips)

Mix dry ingredients in one bowl and wet ingredients in a separate bowl. Then blend the contents of both preferably mixing with a mixer. Ensure that your bread mix is the consistency of mud and pour into a loaf pan (bonus, slice 2 paper thin slices of a banana the long way and lay on top like the picture!)

Bake for 50-55 minutes at 350 degrees.
