INGREDIENTS

  • 3 ripe bananas (2 mashed + 1 for decoration)
  • 120 ml vegetable oil (e.g., coconut oil)
  • 120 g brown sugar
  • 80 ml almond milk (+ 1–2 tbsp if needed)
  • 200 g all-purpose flour
  • 80 g almond powder
  • 1½ tsp baking powder
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 120 g chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • ½ tsp cinnamon (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Preheat & prepare: Preheat oven to 180°C (fan). Grease or line a loaf pan with baking paper.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: Mash 2 bananas until smooth. Add oil, sugar, almond milk, and vanilla (if using). Mix well.
  3. Add dry ingredients: Add flour, almond powder, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon (if using). Mix gently until just combined.
  4. Fold in chocolate chips: Stir in the chocolate chips. If the batter seems very thick, add 1–2 tbsp extra almond milk. The batter should be thick but easily spreadable.
  5. Fill & decorate: Pour into the prepared pan. Slice the remaining banana lengthwise and place on top.
  6. Bake: Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until golden and a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool & serve: Let cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes before transferring to a rack. Slice once completely cooled or slightly warm.

TIPS & VARIATIONS

  • Use very ripe bananas for the best flavor and sweetness.
  • Do not overmix once the flour is added to keep the bread soft and tender.
  • Add chopped walnuts or pecans for extra crunch.
  • If the top browns too quickly, loosely cover with foil during the last 10–15 minutes of baking.
  • Keeps 2–3 days at room temperature, up to 5 days refrigerated, or freezes well in slices.
