February 5, 2016

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup Healthworks Cacao Nibs
• 1/2 cup coconut flour
• 1/2 cup almond flour
• 1 cup very ripe banana mashed well with a fork (2-3 medium bananas)
• 1/2 cup butter melted and extra butter unmelted for greasing
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 - 1/3 cup honey
• 4 eggs
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• pinch of salt

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease a 8.5x4.5 loaf pan with butter.
2. In a medium sized bowl combine the coconut flour, almond flour, cinnamon, baking soda, cacao nibs, and pinch of salt and mix with a fork to reduce any clumps until thoroughly combined.
3. In a small bowl add eggs, vanilla extract, stevia honey and whisk. Then whisk in the mashed banana. Stir until it is fully blended.
4. Combine the dry and liquid ingredients and stir until thoroughly combined.
5. Add melted butter and continue stirring until it is all mixed together nicely.
6. Spread the batter out evenly into the pan and place in the oven for 40-45 minutes or until the center is pierced with a toothpick and the toothpick comes out clean.
7. Pull the bread out of the oven and let it cool off for a few minutes. Then carefully remove the bread from the pan and flip it upside down onto a wire rack to let it cool down.

Note: Place parchment paper at the bottom of the loaf pan to make it easier to get out of the pan while hot.
