Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large organic (free range) eggs
  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar
  • 2 medium bananas
  • 1/2 cup avocado oil, or a mildly flavored oil
  • 1 cup Bob's Red Mill almond flour
  • 1 cup Bob's Red Mill buckwheat flour
  • 1/3 cup dutch baking cocoa
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/6 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup mini dark chocolate chips, or finely chopped chocolate
Ganache
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons coconut cream*

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 and grease a regular sized loaf pan. 
  2. In a medium bowl use a fork to whisk the eggs.  Add in the coconut sugar. Add bananas and mash well using the fork. Add in oil. 
  3. Add in all of the dry ingredients and mix just until combined. 
  4. Spoon out 2/3 of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle with the chocolate chips then top with the remaining batter. 
  5. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean (there will be melted chocolate in the center from the chocolate chips.
  6. As the loaf cools, make the ganache. In a small sauce pan over low heat, melt the chocolate with the coconut cream. Stir continuously as it melts. Pour this thick warm ganache over the loaf. 
  7. Slice and serve! 

Notes

You may use coconut milk instead of the cream.
