Healthy Chocolate Banana Bread

Not meaning to toot my own horn but this recipe is a stroke of genius and the best banana bread I have ever made!

Very similar to my other banana bread recipe but with the decadent addition of COCOA for that umptious chocolate taste and I replaced the agave with honey this time.

Healthy Chocolate Banana Bread

This is especially lovely when warm!

You can substitute the eggs for 4 tbsp aquafaba (chickpea water).

Swop honey for agave syrup or date syrup

Top with pecans or walnuts - optional
