Dark Chocolate Banana Agave Bread

I didn't take a pretty plated picture of this bread because this is how it's eaten in our house. Take a slice straight out of the dish and shove it in your mouth before dropping crumbs all over the place.

Hey, I just realized something...if Jesse buys another bike, maybe we can get a new camera too? I really like taking pictures of bikes and food and ours isn't cutting it anymore...


This is a recipe I have "mastered" after years of messing around...

  • 1-1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
  • 1-1/4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • dash of salt
  • 2 slightly beaten egg whites
  • 1-1/2 (or 2) mashed bananas
  • less than 1/4 cup sugar (Sometimes I use molasses; this time it was brown sugar)
  • 3 or 4 second pour of honey
  • 3 or 4 second pour of agave nectar
  • 1/4 cup coconut or soy bean oil
  • 1/4 (maybe even 1/3) cup unsweetened dark chocolate cocoa
  • 1/2 bag dark chocolate chips or carob
In a medium bowl sift then stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, dark cocoa and salt.

In a large bowl stir together egg whites, banana, sugar, agave, honey and oil. Stir flour mixture into banana mixture just until moistened. Add dark chocolate chips.

Prepare a loaf pan. Spread batter and bake at 350 for 50 minutes to over an hour.
