Easy Chocolate Walnut Banana Bread

🧂 Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder
• 1 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon powder
• 3/4 teaspoon nutmeg powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• pinch of salt
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
• 3 ripe bananas
• 1/3 cup melted butter

  (see Notes for non-dairy substitute)
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 cup sugar

Instructions

• 1 Preheat the oven to 350F (175C) and butter a loaf pan.
• 2 Gather dry ingredients. Sift cocoa powder into the all-purpose flour, then add
  baking soda, cinnamon powder, nutmeg powder and salt to that same bowl. Mix to
  combine them evenly.
• 3 In a mixing bowl, mash bananas until there's no big lumps. Add the melted butter
  and stir well to combine. Then stir in the egg and sugar. Alternatively, you can
  quickly combine the bananas, eggs and melted butter in a blender for a few
  seconds.
• 4 Add the flour mixture and chopped walnuts to the wet ingredients. With a wooden
  spoon or spatula, gently mix to combine. Do not over-mix.
• 5 Pour the batter into the loaf pan. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick
  inserted into the center comes out clean.
• 6 Remove from the oven and let the bread cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes. After
  that, remove the bread from the pan and let it cool completely on a cooling
  rack.
