Recipe Preparation

For the Banana Bread

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 ºF (180 ºC).
  2. Butter and grease a 23 cm x 12 cm (9 in x 5 in) baking pan.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger and fine sea salt.
  4. In a separate bowl, mash the bananas. Whisk in the eggs, butter and almond milk.
  5. Using a silicone spatula, fold the wet ingredients into the dry and mix until just combined. Gently mix in the pecans.
  6. Add the batter to the baking pan. Sprinkle the dark chocolate chips evenly over the top of the batter. Sprinkle the coarse salt evenly over the top to finish.
  7. Bake in the oven for 55 to 60 minutes or until the blade of a knife inserted in the centre of the bread comes out mostly clean (with just a few crumbs).
