Blackout Banana Loaf Cake

This gluten free, dairy free and sugar free blackout banana loaf cake is the perfect way to use up those overly ripe bananas. Rich, decadent and tender; this healthy cake recipe is one you never knew you needed.

I mean, look at that decadent chocolate!

I wasn’t planning on sharing this recipe. I just tossed the ingredients together one night because I had a counter full of overly ripe bananas and was craving something chocolatey–big surprise, right? I already have tons of banana bread recipes on the blog (and most of them being chocolate) so I really wasn’t expecting to add this one. Then I tried a slice…OMG! It was so delicious; I knew I would be doing the world a disservice by not sharing this dense AF banana loaf cake (see how I’m changing it up there?).

What you will need to make this blackout banana loaf cake

Here’s what I didn’t do with this recipe that I really wish I had and I highly recommend you do: ADD WHOLE CHOCOLATE CHIPS TO THE BATTER! The more chocolate, the better in my opinion. Here’s what you will need to make this blackout banana loaf cake recipe:

  • gluten free baking flour (I used Bob’s 1:1)
  • unsweetened cocoa powder
  • special dark unsweetened cocoa powder or espresso powder
  • bananas, overly ripe
  • dairy free or vegan butter
  • coconut oil
  • granulated erythritol (I used Swerve Brown Sugar but you can use any type of granulated sweetener such as coconut sugar)
  • egg, large
  • vanilla
  • uncut stevia to taste* optional if you feel you need more sweetness
  • dairy free chocolate chips, divided (I used Lily’s which is also sugar free!)

Ingredients

  • 1 cup gluten free baking flour 1:1
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tbsp special dark unsweetened cocoa powder can omit if needed
  • 3 overly ripe bananas medium
  • 1/4 cup vegan butter melted and slightly cooledd
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil melted and slightly cooled
  • 1/2 cup granulated erythritol – brown if possible Swerve
  • 1 egg large and room temp
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 3/4 cup dairy free, sugar free chocolate chips, divided Lily’s
  • uncut stevia to taste optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 F and prepare a loaf pan (I used 9×5) with non-stick spray and parchment paper one way for easy removal. 
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powders, salt and baking soda.
  • In another bowl, mash the bananas using a fork. Add in the egg, melted coconut oil, melted butter, granulated erythritol, vanilla and beat using a whisk until smooth and well combined. Melt 1/2 cup of the chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl and then add it to the mixture. Stir until combined. 
  • Pour your wet ingredients into your dry and mix until a batter forms. Add your uncut stevia now if you feel it needs to be sweeter. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and bake for 45-50 minutes or until when you insert a toothpick, it comes out mostly clean. 
  • Let the loaf cake cool for 30 minutes. Melt the remaining chocolate and drizzle it over the loaf. Let the chocolate cool at room temperature before slicing and serving! ENJOY!
