    Over-ripe bananas are used in this easy and delicious chocolate banana bread recipe.

    The other day I had 4 sad organic bananas sitting on my counter that had browned faster than I could eat them.

    I had 2 choices.

    Save them for later by freezing them or make bread.

    Well, of course, I made bread.

    I made the most amazing, super, wonderful, best tasting banana bread ever*

    (*based upon the opinion if its maker and her son).

    But look, you can't deny this Chocolate Banana Bread looks awesome:

    This is a super tasty banana bread with a strong banana flavor and the added bonus of cocoa powder!

    Ingredients
     

    • 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour
    • 1 ¼ teaspoon baking powder
    • ½ teaspoon baking soda
    • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
    • 2 tablespoon cocoa powder
    • Pinch of sea salt
    • 3-4 mashed ripe bananas - mash with fork
    • 1 egg
    • ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce
    • ½ cup raw honey
    • ¼ safflower oil - you can use sunflower oil, grape seed oil, or other nut based oil - olive oil will work but it may require extra cooking time
    • ⅓ cup chopped walnuts

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
    • Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, cocoa powder and salt in a medium bowl.
    • Beat bananas with a mixer until smooth then add egg until combined.
    • Slowly stir applesauce, honey and oil into banana mixture.
    • Blend dry ingredients into banana mixture.
    • Stir in nuts.
    • Spray a 9x5 inch loaf pan with olive oil or cooking spray, pour batter in and bake for 45 minutes or until top has split and edges looked cooked. Test with a toothpick, depending upon your oil choice, it may take longer.
