m
Baking time: 50 min
- 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
- A pinch of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup Almond butter
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1/3 cup (80g) coconut yogurt
- 4 large mashed bananas
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 Chocolate chips
- Let’s prepare the oven by setting the rack in the lower third and preheating it to 165°C (~340°F). This helps ensure our banana bread bakes evenly without getting too brown on top. Don’t forget to generously grease a loaf pan with non-flavoured oil (or use silicon) and set it aside.
- Now, in a medium-sized bowl, let’s whisk together the flour, salt, and cinnamon. This mix will give our banana bread that perfect flavor and texture. Set it aside for now.
- Next, using a mixer with a paddle or whisk attachment, let’s beat the almond butter and one at a time, we’ll add the eggs, making sure to mix well after each addition. After that, it’s time to blend in the yogurt, mashed bananas, and vanilla extract until everything is nicely combined.
- Now, we’ll gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until there are no more pockets of flour. It’s important not to overmix at this stage. Add the chocolate chips, if you feel like it.
- Carefully pour the batter into our prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly. We’re going to pop it into the oven and bake for 50 minutes approx. To check if it’s done, insert a toothpick into the center – it should come out clean with just a few moist crumbs clinging to it. Keep an eye on it, as baking times can vary.
- Once it’s done, take the bread out of the oven and let it cool in the pan on a wire rack for about an hour. After that, gently remove it from the pan and let it cool completely on the wire rack before slicing and serving.
- Enjoy!
- Now, when it comes to storing our delicious banana bread, you can keep it covered at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate it for up to 1 week. Trust me, it tastes even better on the second day when all the flavors have had a chance to meld together.
What I loved about this recipe is that I can satisfy my cravings by adding cocoa, raisins, or dark chocolate chips, and even a spoonful of almond butter.
