Ingredients
  

  • 3 large Ripe Bananas heavily spotted or even black
  • 1/2 cup Butter unsalted, melted and slightly cooled
  • 3/4 cup Sugar granulated or coconut sugar
  • 1 large Egg room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla pure vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1 pinch Salt sea salt
  • 1 1/2 cup Flour all purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup Cocoa Powder unsweetened Dutch processed
  • 1/2 cup Walnuts chopped, ideally toasted
  • 1/2 cup Chocolate Chips semi sweet

Equipment

  • Slow Cooker
  • Mixing bowl
  • loaf pan,

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a standard 9x5 inch loaf pan with butter or line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas until they are liquid gold with only a few small lumps.
  3. Stir in the melted butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is cohesive and smells like a sweet promise.
  4. Sprinkle the banking soda and salt over the wet mix. Sift in the flour and cocoa powder. Stir gently with a wooden spoon, stop just as the last streak of flour disappears.
  5. Gently fold in the toasted walnuts and most of the chocolate chips. Leave a handful of both to sprinkle on top for that professional bakery look.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes. Test with a toothpick, it should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs, not wet batter.
  7. Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

For a vegan chocolat walnut Banana Bread, replace the egg with a flax egg one tablespoon ground flaxseeds mixed with three tablespoons water and use melted coconut oil instead of butter. If you are looking for a gluten free chocolat walnut Banana Bread, a high quality 1 to 1 gluten free baking flour works wonders in this specific ratio.
