During the colder months I am always looking to whip up a delicious quick bread loaf. Great source of fiber and protein, thanks to wholesome ingredients. Almonds are great sources of magnesium, vitamin E, phosphorus, and riboflavin.

Recipe 


Ingredients: 

1 ¼ cup spelt flour

½ cup coconut sugar

½ cup + 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa

1 ripe banana, mashed

¾ cup unsweetened almond milk

7oz Greek yogurt 2%

1 egg

½ teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon almond extract 

1 teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon salt

½ cup chocolate chips

Topping: ¼ cup sliced or finely chopped raw almonds


Method:

1.) Preheat oven to 350F and line a bread pan with parchment paper. 

2.) In a medium bowl mix the mashed banana, egg, almond extract, Greek yogurt and almond milk. 

3.) In a separate large bowl combine the remaining dry ingredients minus the chocolate chips and almond topping. 

4.) Make a well in the dry ingredients and add the wet ingredients into center of well. Mix to batter is completely mixed. Lastly fold in the chocolate chips. Pour batter into prepared pan. 

5.) Sprinkle almonds on top of batter and gently press almonds into batter. Bake for 40-50 minutes, checking with a toothpick. Mine took 45-minutes, enjoy!
