Chocolate Chip Walnut Banana Bread
INGREDIENTS
- three whole bananas, peels on (See Note)
- three large eggs
- 3 tablespoons ghee (clarified butter)
- one teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup of unsweetened almond milk
- One Cup all-purpose gluten free flour
- 4th a cup of chopped walnuts
- two heaping tablespoons bone broth collagen protein powder
- 2 teaspoons granulated stevia
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- 1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons dark chocolate chips (70% or more unsweetened cacao)
- NOTE: Leaving the peels on makes this banana bread extra moist ad jam-packed with essential nutrients! Trust me, you’ll want to double the batch and maybe add more chocolate. Learn more at SAVE THE PEELS.
DIRECTIONS
- Preheat the oven to 375F degrees. Line a 4-cup load pan (8” x 4” x 2 ½”) with parchment paper.
- In a blender, combine the bananas (still in their peels), eggs, ghee, vanilla, and almond milk and blend until smooth.
- In a large bowl, stir together the flour, walnuts, protein powder, stevia, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined. Add the banana mixture and stir to incorporate. Fold in 1/3 cup of the chocolate chips. Pour the mixture into the prepared load pan, spreading it evenly, and sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons chocolate chips on top.
- Bake for 50 to 55 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 10 to 15 minutes. Slice and serve, or store in a sealed container and refrigerate for up to a week – although there’s no way its making it that long!
