Equipment

  • 1 9"x5" metal loaf pan

Ingredients

  • 1 packed cup bananas (about 2-3 bananas, depending on their size)
  • 2/3 cup smooth almond butter
  • 1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup tapioca starch
  • 1/3 cup coconut sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Mash your bananas in a bowl and whisk in the almond butter, vanilla and eggs until everything is combined.
  • Add the almond flour, tapioca starch, coconut sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt and mix until just combined using a whisk or spatula. Use a spatula to fold in ¾ of the chocolate chips.
  • Line a 9x5” metal baking pan with parchment and pour the batter into the pan. Top with the remaining chocolate chips.
  • Place the pan in your oven on the middle shelf and bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the bread is firm and the top is golden brown. Aim for the internal temperature of the bread to read 195 degrees on a food thermometer when finished baking.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and allow the bread to fully cool before slicing.

Notes

For best results, use a food/meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the bread to check if it's finished baking!
Storing and storage: Place the fully cooled bread into an airtight container or bag and store at room temperature for up to 3 days or wrap and freeze for up to a month.
