Ingredients

1 3/4 cups whole wheat flour for a healthier option
1/2 cup organic coconut sugar a less processed alternative
1/4 cup pure maple syrup for natural sweetness
1 teaspoon baking soda for lift
1/2 teaspoon sea salt for balance
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon for warmth
3 medium ripe bananas about 1 pound, the riper the better!
2 large eggs free-range, lightly beaten
1/2 cup unsalted butter melted and cooled (or substitute with coconut oil for a healthier fat)
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract for that lovely aroma
1 cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9 x 5 x 3-inch loaf pan with a dab of butter or coconut oil and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, coconut sugar, maple syrup, baking soda, sea salt, and cinnamon. has a touch of health-conscious sweetness.
Mash and Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, give your bananas a good mash until they're smooth – think of it as a great arm workout! Then, whisk in the eggs, melted butter (or coconut oil), and vanilla extract.
Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry mix using a spatula. Stir until just combined to keep the bread tender. Now, for the fun part – fold in half of the dark chocolate chips.
Transfer the batter into your prepped loaf pan and sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top. Bake for about 55-60 minutes. You'll know it's done when the top is a lovely golden brown.
Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then use the parchment paper handles to lift it onto a wire rack. This will help it cool completely without getting soggy.
