Ingredients

  • 3 Ripe Bananas
  • 2 Eggs
  • 2 tsp Vanilla
  • 1/2 Cup Maple Syrup
  • 1/2 Cup Unsweetened Applesauce
  • 1/4 Cup Greek Yogurt
  • 1/4 Cup Melted Butter
  • 1 1/4 Cups Fresh Milled Whole Wheat
  • 1/2 Cup Cocoa Powder
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1 Cup Chocolate Chips

Steps

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. Mash the Bananas: In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork or potato masher until they are smooth and mostly lump-free.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Add the mashed bananas to your mixing bowl. Add 2 eggs, vanilla extract, maple syrup, unsweetened applesauce, Greek yogurt, and melted butter. Mix well until all the wet ingredients are combined.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: Slowly add fresh milled whole wheat flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
  5. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips into the batter until they are evenly distributed.
  6. Pour into Loaf Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.
  7. Bake: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs (avoid chocolate chips). Baking times may vary, so start checking around the 45-minute mark.
  8. Cool: Once done, remove the banana bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Slice and Serve: When the chocolate banana bread has cooled, slice it into thick, delicious pieces. Enjoy your homemade chocolatey banana goodness!
