Banana chocolate loaf #MothersDay.

1/4 cup coconut flour or plain flour

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.
