An easy banana chocolate loaf  : lovely on Mothers Day (or any day when you want chocolate!)
This is a paleo recipe adulterated from Wholesome Delicious but if you don’t have almond flour or coconut flour you can substitute plain flour.

You need for one loaf
1.5 cups super fine almond flour 0r plain flour
1/4 cup coconut flour or plain flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1.5 tsp cinnamon
3 very ripe bananas mashed
1/3 cup coconut oil melted or olive oil
3 eggs
1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
2/3 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped walnuts optional

• Preheat oven to 170 degrees.
• Grease a 10cm x 20cm loaf tin, you can also add parchment paper for easier clean up and release of the bread.
• In a medium sized bowl, mix together your dry ingredients: flours, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon.
• In a smaller bowl, whisk the eggs, and add in wet ingredients: bananas, coconut oil, maple syrup.
• Fold wet ingredients into dry and mix with a spoon until all the dry pockets are gone.
• Now add in chocolate chips and walnuts (if using). Batter will be thick. So will your stomach after having this!
• Spoon batter into your loaf pan. Even out the top with a spatula.
• Pop in the oven and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until top is browned as an Hermes bag.
• Remove from oven and let sit to cool for at least 10 minutes before removing from pan.
• Serve warm !
