Ingredients
Scale
3 ripe bananas
1 cup fresh spinach
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
Chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans, optional)
1 tablespoon almond or peanut butter (optional)
Fresh berries (for garnish, optional)
Powdered sugar (for garnish, optional)
Shaved dark chocolate (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan with cooking spray or butter and set it aside.
Blend the spinach and bananas together. In a blender or food processor, combine the fresh spinach and ripe bananas until smooth.
In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and eggs until well combined. Stir in the vanilla extract and blended spinach-banana mixture.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. If using cinnamon, add it here.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
