Instructions: 

  • Let's do this! Get started by preheating the oven to 350 and lining an 8 1/2 by 4 1/2 loaf pan with parchment paper. You are going to want to grease the ends of the pan to avoid sticking.
  • Next up, in a large bowl mix together the mashed ripe bananas, eggs, vanilla, maple syrup, coffee. Mix well.
  • Next, add in the almond flour, baking soda, salt, cocoa, and chocolate chips. Mix until well incorporated.
  • Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and place in the oven for 50-60 minutes. Remove from oven when you can poke the center of the load with a tester stick and it comes out clean.
  • Let the loaf cool for 10 minutes in the pan, and then for another 10-20 minutes on a cooling rack.
  • Slice and enjoy. To store the loaf, place it in a plastic bag and leave it on the counter.
