Deeply chocolatey banana bread made with ripe bananas and chunks of real baking chocolate. The riper the bananas, the better it gets.

Ingredients

• Banana × 3
• 150 g Flour (all-purpose)
• 80 g Butter
• 120 g Raw cane sugar
• Egg × 2
• 120 g Chocolate bar (baking)
• 75 g Almond flour
• 1 sach. Baking powder
• 40 g Almonds
• 3 g Salt

Method

1. Prep Dry Ingredients

   

   Preheat the oven to 180°C. In a mixing bowl, combine: the sugar, ground almonds, flour, baking powder & a pinch of salt.

2. Mash Bananas

   

   Peel the bananas (the riper the better) & add them to a second mixing bowl. Mash the bananas.

3. Wet Ingredients

   

   Add the eggs & whisk to combine. Melt the butter — short bursts in the microwave or gently in a small pan — then add it & stir again.

4. Combine

   

   Mix the dry ingredients into the second mixing bowl (the banana mixture). Whisk just until combined, with no dry streaks of flour left.

5. Add Chocolate

   

   Roughly chop the chocolate & incorporate it into the cake batter.

6. Generously grease a loaf tin

   

   Generously grease a loaf tin with butter & pour in the cake batter.

7. Optional: top with chocolate chips

   

   Optional: top with chocolate chips or nuts.

8. Bake

   

   Bake for 35-40 min at 180°C.

9. Cool & Serve

   

   Once the top is golden, poke a knife into the centre — if it comes out clean, with no wet batter clinging to it, the loaf is ready. Enjoy cold or at room temperature!
