Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

 Chocolate Chip Banana Bread


HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!
So its mothers day today, I'm having my mum and dad over for morning tea, and what a more perfect way to spend the morning than to have cups of tea and banana bread, especially when this recipe is the best banana bread ever!!

I was skeptical at first, but this recipe turned out moist and tasty, and even though there's no sugar in the mix, it was deliciously sweet :)  

What you'll need: (makes one loaf) 
4 really ripe bananas, mashed
1/3 cup coconut oil (plus a little extra to grease the baking tin)
4 free-range eggs
1tsp vanilla
1 ½ tsp cinnamon
½ cup coconut flour (will only work with coconut flour, no substitutions)
1 heaping tsp baking soda (bi-carb soda)
¼ tsp salt
1/2 cup of cacao nibs (or chocolate chips)
1/2 cup of shredded coconut (optional)

You can also add nuts or seeds or dried cranberries for something different... 

What to do:
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Combine all the ingredients into a medium sized bowl and mix until combined (the mixture will be slightly gooey to start with, but will quickly turn stiff and thick, so don't worry!)  Pour the mix into a lightly greased bread pan (I used coconut oil and baking paper, but you can use butter too) and bake for about 30- 45 minutes or until center is set and top is golden.(Mine only cooked for 30mins and it was ready), allow it to slightly cool before taking it out of the tin. Best served warm... Enjoy!

The mixture is really thick, i was a bit worried on how it would turn out, but it worked!
Fresh out of the oven, filled the house with a delicious smell..mmmm

I used a bit of Loving Earth Cacao Coconut butter....heaven!!!  :)

P.S. mum loved it too! xx
