Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 1 cup all purpose flour (5oz/150g)
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder (2oz/60g)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 3 large ripe bananas (about 1 1/2 cups (15oz/540g) mashed banana)
  • 1/3 cup coconut oil liquid (21/2oz/75ml)
  • 3/4 cup coconut sugar (41/20z/135g)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup chocolate chips (41/2oz/135g)

Instructions
 

  • Heat your oven to 350oF (180oC) and grease a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with coconut oil and set aside.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the flax seed meal and water. Let sit for 10 minutes. This is to make a "flax egg" or egg substitute.
  • In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and sea salt. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork. Add the melted coconut oil and stir until combined. Next add in the coconut sugar, flax egg, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.
  • Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, being careful not to over mix.
  • Stir in 1/2 cup of the chocolate chips.
  • Pour batter into prepared pan. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of chocolate chips.
  • Bake for 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out mostly clean.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and set on a wire cooling rack. Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Run a knife around the edges of the bread and carefully remove from the pan.
  • Let the bread cool on the wire cooling rack before cuting into slices and serving.
  • The bread will keep on the counter, wrapped in plastic wrap, for up to 4 days. This bread also freezes well. To freeze, cool the bread completely and wrap in plastic wrap and aluminum foil. Freeze for up to 1 month. Defrost before slicing.
