  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 10 servings

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 1/3 cups bananas, mashed
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/3 cup coconut oil, melted and cooled
  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup oat flour
  • 1/3 cup flour (1:1 gluten free baking flour, all-purpose, or white whole wheat)
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/8 tsp salt

Add-ins

  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (plus extra for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a bread tin with parchment paper and grease it lightly to prevent sticking.
  2. Mash Bananas and Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, mash the bananas thoroughly with a fork. Add the eggs, unsweetened applesauce, melted and cooled coconut oil, pure maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk everything together until well combined.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Gently fold in the oat flour, chosen flour (gluten-free blend, all-purpose, or white whole wheat), unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until all ingredients are fully incorporated without overmixing.
  4. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Add the 1/2 cup of chocolate chips to the batter, folding them in evenly to distribute the chocolate throughout the bread.
  5. Pour and Top Batter: Pour the batter into the prepared bread tin, smoothing the top, and sprinkle extra chocolate chips over the surface for a decorative and tasty topping.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

  • Ensure coconut oil is cooled before adding it to the wet ingredients to prevent cooking the eggs.
  • You can substitute the flours with gluten-free blends for a gluten-free version.
  • Test doneness early at 50 minutes as oven temperatures may vary.
  • Store wrapped at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • Optional: Add nuts or dried fruit for added texture.
