Wet Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas mashed
- ⅓ cup melted coconut oil
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp Liquid Chai
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups plain flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp salt
Optional
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips
- ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans
Preheat the oven to 175°C (160°C fan-forced) and line a loaf tin with baking paper.
In a large bowl, mash the bananas until mostly smooth.
Add the coconut oil, brown sugar, maple syrup, vanilla extract and Liquid Chai. Whisk until well combined.
Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt.
Fold the mixture together gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold through the chocolate chips or walnuts if using.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf tin and smooth the top.
Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
Allow to cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
Slice and enjoy 😊
The riper your bananas, the sweeter and more flavourful your loaf will be.
Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the bread soft and fluffy.
Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

For an extra chai flavour, drizzle with a simple icing made from icing sugar and a splash of Liquid Chai.
