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
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.
