  5. Fold chocolate chunks into batter.
  6. Spray a 4 x 8 loaf pan (glass) with coconut oil. Pour batter into pan and bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes. It doesn't help to test the bread to see if it's done because only chocolate comes out onto the knife or toothpick.

  2. Using a handheld mixer, on low speed mix all the ingredients together.

  4. There will be leftovers. Great to use on pancakes! :-D

*Notes - The slice could always be split in half to reduce the sugar count. However it taste so good, it would be difficult to give up the other half. ;-)

Enjoy!
