Healthy cacao nibs banana bread

* 2 very ripe/ripe bananas mashed
* 1 cup almond meal/flour ( I used leftover almond pulp from making almond milk)
* 2 whole organic free range eggs or 1 whole egg and 2 egg whites
* 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
* 1/3 cup unsweetened apple sauce
^ 1 tsp vanilla extract
* 2 tbsp stevia or an natural sweetener of your choice *
* 1 tbsp flaxseed meal
* 1/2 cup coconut flour
* 1/2 scoop protein powder of your choice * ( I used vital vanilla pea protein powder )
* 1/2 tsp cinnamon
* 1 tsp baking powder + 1/4 tsp baking soda
* 4 tbsp raw cacao nibs ( If you don't have them you can substitute for good quality dark chocolate chips)
* pinch of sea salt to taste ( optional only )

Mix all the dry ingredients together. In a separate bowl. Mash 2 ripe bananas and add all the wet ingredients together. Add the dry mixture into the wet ingredients. Mix and combine well. Add in the cacao nibs and fold in gently. Pour into a baking loaf/tin and bake in a 180 degree oven for 50 min or until toothpick inserted and comes out clean.
Enjoy! I like to reheat it the next day and toast it! :) it's super yum!
