Chocolate Banana Bread
Ready In: 1 hr 10 mins
Serves: 12
Yields: 12 slice
Ingredients
- 1 1⁄4 cups prunes, unsweetened baby food
- 3⁄4 cup banana, mashed (about 2 medium)
- 4 large egg whites
- 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
- 1⁄2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons instant coffee
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F Lightly butter a 5×9-inch loaf pan and line bottom with a piece of parchment paper, cut to fit.
- Beat prunes and bananas until very smooth. Add eggs and whirl to combine.
- In a large bowl, sift together flour, cocoa, baking powder, instant coffee, and baking soda. Stir in banana mixture until evenly moistened. Stir in chocolate chips. Scrape the thick batter into pan and spread level.
- Bake bread until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out a little chocolatey but not gooey, 40 to 50 minutes. Loosen bread from pan with a knife and invert onto a rack. Remove parchment. Turn bread right-side-up and let cool at least 1 hour before slicing.
