Ingredients
3 (300g) medium-large ripe bananas, mashed
2 large eggs
2 tbsp milk (any kind)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups (160g) oat flour
Can sub 2 cups (160g) old-fashioned rolled oats, ground finely into flour
2 tbsp cacao (or cocoa) powder
1 tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
2 oz dark chocolate, melted
Topping: 2 tbsp (30g) mini chocolate chips
Directions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a bread loaf pan or line with parchment paper and set aside.
Mash the banana in a bowl, then add the eggs, milk, and vanilla. Mix to combine.
In another bowl, mix together the oat flour, cacao powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing just until incorporated – do not over-mix. Then fold in the melted chocolate.
Pour mixture into the pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle the mini chocolate chips on top, gently pressing it into the batter.
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the top is rounded and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Let the banana bread cool, then slice and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
