This coconut cacao nib banana bread recipe was inspired by Nigella Lawson\u2019s banana bread with cardamom and cocoa nibs<\/a>. Which sounded VERY inspiring, but in the end I made a totally different banana bread altogether. The only thing that remained the same was the bananas, the eggs and the cacao nibs. I changed pretty much everything. So much for good inspired intentions. What sparked this major stray was the lack of cardamom<\/a> in my spice collection. Bummer. What to do? An even mix of ground nutmeg and cinnamon was the best possible substitute, plus they lend a nice depth of flavor. White flour I almost always substitute, and in this case, for the greater part, whole grain spelt flour. And thanks to muscovado sugar, there are some gorgeous caramel undertones in this bread. L O V E.<\/p>\n

\nWith only 100 g sugar, I find this coconut cacao nib banana bread plenty sweet, and that is with only using half the recommended amount. Nigella\u2019s version is described as being a breakfast bread that \u201cisn\u2019t terribly sweet\u201d but perhaps that was her sweet tooth talking. My favorite Schwabe thinks this version is perfect as it is. Actually it is. But you could get away with reducing the sugar just a tad more since ripe bananas are already plenty rich in natural sweetness. But here I am talking as a green banana<\/a> lover and someone who hates to feel the slightest hint of sugary film on my teeth. Even if I can\u2019t taste the sugar (thinking Thai food here) that feeling on my teeth is a dead giveaway. Ever notice that?<\/p>\n

So here it is, a super tasty banana bread, that’s moist and oh-so VERY flavorful! It\u2019s perfect for breakfast or a snack and is practically guilt-free. It\u2019s banana bread, so it\u2019s basically fruit…right? \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
