Ingredients I used and why I choose them:
Whole Wheat Flour: Provides a heartier texture and adds nutritional value compared to refined flour.
Ripe Bananas: The riper, the sweeter and moister the bread will be! This is key for the bread’s flavour and texture.
Unsweetened Cocoa Powder: For that intense chocolate flavour without excessive sweetness.
Coconut Milk: Adds richness and moisture, enhancing the overall taste. It complements the chocolate beautifully.
Olive Oil: Gives the bread a subtle flavour and helps to keep it moist. You can certainly substitute it with another neutral-tasting oil.
Baking Powder and Baking Soda: The leavening agents that make the bread rise beautifully.
