Ingredients
- 2 large ripe bananas (about 1 cup mashed)
- 3 Tbsp pure maple syrup

- 1 tsp instant coffee granules optional
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 2/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips or dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas. Mix in the eggs, pure maple syrup, and vanilla extract until the wet ingredients are well combined.
- Mix together the almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, cinnamon, instant coffee granules (if adding), and sea salt. Pour the dry ingredients into the bowl with the wet ingredients and mix until a thick batter forms. Mix in the chocolate chips.As an alternative, blend all of the ingredients together in a blender until a smooth batter forms.
- Transfer the banana bread batter to the prepared loaf pan. Bake on the center rack of the preheated oven 40 to 55 minutes, until loaf feels firm in the center when poked (mine usually takes 50 minutes). Insert a digital thermometer into the center of the bread. It is fully cooked if it has an internal temperature of 190 degrees F or higher.
- Remove bread from the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature before slicing.
