This whole30 chocolate banana bread is perfect for breakfast or a nice after school treat. This banana bread can be made two ways. It is naturally sweet with the ripened bananas or you can add coconut sugar and chocolate chips. Both ways are quite delightful. With this banana bread only taking 10 minutes to prep, this after school treat is a no brainer.

Whole30 Chocolate Banana Bread Ingredients:

  • Bananas- Make sure they are ripe (brown)!
  • Almond flour- This is my go to paleo baking flour. This cannot be swapped out with another flour as not all flours are created equal. 
  • Arrowroot- This can be used interchangeably with tapioca flour. Think of tapioca flour and arrowroot and cornstarch in the paleo world. They are both thickening agents. 
  • Unsweetened cocoa powder- This is what gives the banana bread the chocolate flavor without the added chocolate chips.
  • The vanilla and cinnamon adds flavor. 
  • The eggs and coconut oil keep this bread moist.
  • The baking powder and baking soda are a must! Both ingredients help the bread rise. 
  • The coconut sugar and added chocolate chips are optional, obviously they will add extra sweetness to the bread but they are not completely necessary. It just depends on if you are trying to avoid added sugars.

For The Bananas 

  • I highly recommend placing the bananas in a food processor to make these bananas nice and smooth. This will help them mix in with the batter.

How To Mix The Whole30 Chocolate Banana Bread:

  • It is important to not over-mix the banana bread, or it will not rise correctly. You want to mix it enough so that you cannot see the individual ingredients.

How to Get This Bread To Not Stick

  • I am a huge fan of Trader Joe’s olive oil spray. I use it all of the time when I am baking and cooking. In this recipe you must either line the pan with wax paper or use a non-stick spray like olive oil. Or you can use a silicone pan.

How To Garnish:

  • If you desire to put the pretty banana on top, cut the banana in half horizontally and lay both pieces on top of the batter.
