    Banana Chocolate Spread Recipe – You only need 4 ingredients to make this delicious homemade jam or spread. A great way to use ripe bananas!

    What is banana chocolate spread?

    It is a simple and delicious homemade jam or spread made with ripe bananas and cocoa powder. You just need 4 ingredients and 15 minutes to make this insanely delicious homemade spread. This creamy banana chocolate jam is gluten-free, vegan and nut-free.

    Itis very easy to make and so much better than the store-bought jams. You can serve this jam with bread, pancakes, yogurt or cereal.

    Ingredients:

    • Banana – Use ripe or overripe bananas for the flavor and sweetness.
    • Unsweetned Cocoa Powder – You could also use cacao powder instead of cocoa powder.
    • Sugar – I have used white sugar in this recipe. You can swap it with brown sugar or coconut sugar. You can’t use maple syrup in this recipe.
    • Lemon Juice – Do not skip adding lemon juice, it enhances the taste and it is a natural preservative.
    • Salt – You can also add a pinch of salt. (I didn’t add)

    Can I use dark chocolate?

    Yes. When the jam is still hot, add chopped dark chocolate and mix until it is melted.

    Storage:

    It needs to be refrigerated.

    Once the spread is cooled completely, transfer it to a clean jar and store it in the refrigerator for a week or two.

    If you want to store it for longer, store in the freezer for 3 months.

    Serving suggestions:

    The options are endless.

    It tastes so good on a warm toast and pancakes.

    You can serve it with yogurt, cereal, ice cream, oatmeal, waffles and chia puddings.

    It can also be served as a fruit dip.

    Notes & Variations:

    The quantity of sugar depends on the sweetness of the bananas. Make sure you are using the ripe ones.

    Add ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract for a variation.

    Walnuts, hazelnuts or almonds can also be added. Roast and grind the nuts before adding to the jam.

    Step by step instructions:

    Puree bananas in a blender or mash them with a fork until creamy or chunky.

    Combine the pureed or mashed fruit, sugar and lemon juice in a pan and mix everything well.

    Let it cook for about 10 minutes until the mixture thickens.

    Switch off the heat and add cocoa powder.

    Mix until well combined and let it cool completely.

    Store in a clean airtight container and refrigerate for a couple of weeks.
