Gluten-Free Giraffe Banana Bread

Moist and tasting like a banana bread should...but with the bonus of chocolate! Not only does this taste great, it looks fun, too!

Ingredients

Quantities are shown as originally provided.

5-6 (575g) ripe bananas ((the weight is more important than the number of bananas))
4 eggs
1/2 cup almond butter
4 tbs Butter (melted)
1/2 cup coconut flour
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla
Pinch Sea salt
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

1
Preheat oven 350 deg F (180C).
2
Combine bananas, almond butter, eggs, and melted butter in a blender and mix well.
3
Add coconut flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, vanilla, and sea salt to the banana mixture in the blender; mix well.
4
Melt chocolate chips in the microwave oven for 1 minutes; stir. Microwave for an additional 15 seconds at a time until chips are completely melted.
5
Add 2 cups of the banana bread batter to the melted chocolate chips and stir well to combine.
6
In a parchment lined loaf pan, add a few blobs of chocolate mixture, then cover with some of the banana batter. Repeat, varying the areas where you spoon the chocolate batter.
7
Bake for 55-60 minutes, testing for doneness with a tootpick.
8
Let rest 10 minutes before lifting the bread out of the pan to cool completely on a rack. Let cool at least 2 hours before slicing.
