I was thinking a lot about banana bread lately, more specifically, what could make banana bread even better than it already is… CHOCOLATE! Lots of it! 🍫 Added a few handfuls of walnuts too, which went great with the chocolate and banana flavors.
This healthy chocolate banana bread is not overly sweet! The recipe only calls for a 1/3 cup of sugar, but if you want a sweeter loaf, you can round it up to a 1/2 cup.
If you cannot find coconut sugar, you can substitute an equal amount of packed light brown sugar.
The walnuts and chocolate chunks are both optional, but great additions to this healthy chocolate banana bread. I call this healthy chocolate banana bread healthy because, to me, it’s made with healthier ingredients I feel good about. That said, it’s still banana bread!
If you want an extra decadent treat, drizzle the loaf with chocolate syrup before serving! I used my homemade chocolate ganache 😉
