Ingredients
- 3 medium bananas ripe, mashed
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup almond butter or peanut butter
- 1/3 cup monk fruit sweetener or brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt or slightly more to taste
- 1 1/2 cups oat flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips plus more for topping if desired
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a standard loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on the sides.
- In a large bowl, mash the bananas until very smooth.
- Whisk in the almond butter and eggs. Add the sweetener, vanilla extract, and salt, and whisk until fully combined.
- Stir in the oat flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder just until the batter comes together.
- Fold in the dark chocolate chips.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan, smooth the top, and add extra chocolate chips if desired.
- Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then remove and let cool fully on a wire rack before slicing.
Notes
Use brown sugar for a sweeter, more classic loaf, or monk fruit sweetener for a lower-sugar version. Peanut butter also works well in place of almond butter.
