This nutty chocolate banana bread is a dream come true! It takes my classic banana bread recipe and ups it a notch. The addition of nuts really makes this recipe a good one!

For my banana bread, I chose pecans, cashews and almonds. But you should choose whatever nuts you prefer and just use the same ingredient amounts! For example, if you are a big fan of walnuts or macadamia nuts, add those!

Ingredients

290 g Banana

75 ml Coconut oil melted
180 g Soft light brown sugar
1 teaspoon Baking soda

¼ teaspoon Baking powder
195 g Plain white flour
50 g Chocolate chunks I used a mix of milk/ dark

30 g Pecans
30 g Cashews
30 g Almonds

Instructions

Pre-heat your oven to 180°C/ 356°F. Grease a rectangular baking tin with a small amount of vg butter.
Smash your bananas up to form a smooth banana paste. I use a food processor for this (it makes it way easier and quicker).
After your banana paste has formed, place it into a large bowl. Then add the oil, sugar, baking soda, baking powder and flour to the bowl, in that order. Whisk together after each ingredient addition. If you used a food processor to blend the bananas, you could just mix the ingredients in there, whizzing it until combined.

Add 90% of the mixed nuts (you may want to roughly chop the ones that you're mixing into the batter) and 90% of the chocolate chunks (the remaining will be used for the top of the banana bread). Mix until all combined.
Pour the batter into the greased baking tin. Scatter the rest of the chocolate and nuts on top of the batter. Bake the banana bread for 50 minutes, or until a knife comes out of the middle clean. If a knife comes out of the middle wet, keep the banana bread in the oven for further minutes, until it is completely cooked. This may be due to your oven temperature/ heat spots.
Serve up your banana bread whilst it is still warm and enjoy! When the banana bread is a bit harder (after a day or two), you can toast it and slather some butter on top... It is SO good!
