INGREDIENTS

CHAI SPICE

4 tsp ground cinnamon

2 tsp ground ginger

1 tsp ground cardamom

1/2 tsp freshly grated nutmeg

1/2 tsp ground cloves

1/8 tsp ground black pepper

BANANA BREAD

3 overly ripe bananas, mashed (1 1/4 cup mashed)

1/4 cup melted coconut oil

1/4 cup pure maple syrup

2 eggs

2 tsp vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups Paleo baking flour

1 1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp kosher salt

1 cup Hu Keto semi-sweet chocolate chunks

Avocado Oil

PROCESS

To make the chai spice, in a shallow bowl, combine the cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, nutmeg, all-spice, cloves, and pepper. You will not need all of this, save the blend for another use.

Preheat the oven to 350° F. Grease a 9x5 inch bread pan with avocado oil.

In a bowl, mix together the bananas, coconut oil, maple, eggs, and vanilla until combined.

Add the flour, baking soda, 1-2 tablespoons chai spice, and salt, mix until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chunks.

Spoon the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is just set. Remove and let cool slightly. 

This chocolate chip banana bread recipe is perfect for those who love a hint of spice in their banana nut bread.
