- 1/4 cup (60ml) of pure maple syrup
- 1/4 cup (60ml) of melted coconut oil

- 1 cup of brown rice flour
- 1/2 cup of corn starch
- 1tsp of baking powder
- 1tsp of baking soda
- pinch of salt
- large handful of chopped walnuts
- large handful of 70% chocolate chopped (the chocolate is optional but helps add a little sweetness – if you don’t add the chocolate, you may want to increase the maple syrup to 1/2 cup – 120ml).

- Mash the bananas in a large bowl;

- In a separate bowl, mix the brown rice flour (1 cup – g), corn starch (1/2 cup – g), baking powder (1tsp), baking soda (1tsp) and salt. Whisk together to sift and combine;
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and blend together;
- Stir in walnuts and chocolate pieces;
- Coat a loaf pan with some of the melted coconut oil to prevent sticking;
- Pour in the batter and cook until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean (about 50 minutes);
