Ingredients

14 ounces can full-fat coconut milk

1/2 cup cacao or cocoa powder

2 large eggs

3/4 cup honey or maple syrup

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 3/4 cups spelt or whole wheat flour

3/4 cup mini dark chocolate chips, divided

1/2 cup salted pistachios, chopped

Cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray.
  2. Heat coconut milk in a medium pot until hot but not boiling. Remove from heat and whisk in cacao powder until smooth.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, honey or maple syrup, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until combined.
  4. Whisk the chocolate mixture into the egg mixture until smooth. Stir in flour until just combined. Let batter rest for 3 minutes.
  5. Stir in 1/2 cup chocolate chips and all the pistachios.
  6. Pour batter into prepared pan. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup chocolate chips on top.
  7. Bake for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack. Cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Nut-Free: Replace pistachios with sunflower seeds or more chocolate chips.
  • Sweetener Swap: Use coconut sugar or agave instead of honey or maple syrup.
  • Gluten-Free: Substitute flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend.
  • Vegan: Replace eggs with flax eggs (1 tbsp flaxseed + 2.5 tbsp water per egg).
  • Add dried fruits or mashed banana for extra natural sweetness.
  • Store at room temp for 3 days, refrigerate for 1 week, or freeze for 3 months.
