Equipment

Mini Loaf Pans If you're using a standard 1-pound loaf pan, instead of mini loaf pans, increase the cooking time to around 60 minutes

Ingredients

1 tablespoon coconut oil melted
3 medium-sized ripe bananas
3 large eggs room temperature
¼ cup pure maple syrup
2 ½ cups almond flour
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Coat 3-4 mini loaf pans with non-stick cooking spray. *See recipe notes for details
In a medium sized bowl, combine all dry ingredients and whisk with a fork until combined.
Separately, and in large sized bowl, mash bananas with a fork, then whisk together with remaining wet ingredients - and mix until well combined.
Next, add in dry ingredients and mix until batter is uniform.
Fold in chocolate chips.
Fill mini loaf pans ⅔ of the way and add extra chocolate chips on top, if desired.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or in until toothpick inserted into the center of the loaves comes out clean.

Notes

Rotate pans halfway in between cooking time to ensure even baking.
Baking time may vary depending upon the temperature of your oven.
Makes 3- 4 mini loaves, depending on the size of the mini loaf pan.

A standard 1-pound loaf pan may be used but increase the baking time to about 50 minutes.
