  • 1 ½ tsp Cinnamon
  • 1/3 cup Cacao Nibs I use [url href=”https://navitasnaturals.com/product/439/Cacao-Nibs.html” target=”_blank” title=”Navitas Cocoa Nibs”]Navitas unsweetened nibs[/url] because I like the bitter taste balanced against the sweet. I also like to keep it lower-glycemic. You can use sweetened nibs or vegan chocolate chips if preferred
  • Wet Ingredients
  • 4 ripe bananas the browner the outside, the sweeter the inside
  • 2 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup + 2 T cold pressed coconut oil

Equipment

  • 1 Oven 

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350ºF.
  2. Lightly oil the bottom of a standard loaf pan (8×4 or 9×5) with a little bit of coconut oil, and dust it with brown rice flour.
  3. Mash bananas, vanilla and coconut oil together with a potato masher or a hand mixer in a large bowl.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together the dry ingredients except for the cacao nibs.
  5. Fold the dry ingredients + the cacao nibs into the wet and stir until smooth.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake in the center of a preheated oven about 45 minutes, until the loaf is firm.
  7. Test by inserting a toothpick into the middle of the loaf. If the toothpick comes out clean, the bread is done.
  8. Cool the bread on a rack for at least 15 minutes before slicing, so that it doesn’t crumble.
  9. Enjoy
