Chocolate Banana Bread

This recipe is a delicious alternative to a classic banana bread, using cocoa and coconut to give it extra depth. It's vegan, refined sugar free, and can be eaten the same way as a regular banana bread: fresh or toasted, with or without spread, and in one, guilty sitting. Enjoy!
