3/4 cup oats, quick or old fashioned
1 cup mashed ripe banana
1/4 cup nut butter
Forgot to use, this was the sub for 2 eggs…2 Tbsp ground flax seed + 6 Tbsp water – let sit until it becomes gel-like consistency
1/4 cup coconut palm sugar, for me i substituted 1 single serve cinnamon applesauce and thought the sweetness was still good.
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and lightly grease a 9 x 5 bread pan or line it with a sheet of parchment paper leaving a few inches of overhang for easy removal.
Add the oats to the bowl of a high speed blender or food processor and process until a find powder. about 2 minutes. Add all the remaining ingredients except for the chocolate chips and continue processing until the batter is smooth and creamy, about two minutes. Fold in the chocolate chips by hand. Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and top with more chocolate chips if desired.
Bake for 45 to 50 minutes (I ONLY BAKED FOR 20) until the top of the loaf begins to turn golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the loaf to cool for five minutes before removing. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for 3 months.
April 2025 – loved this, even Joe liked it. Forgot to add the egg substitute. Maybe less cinnamon. ONLY BAKED FOR 20 MINUTES. MAY 2025 substituted one individual serving cup of applesauce, cinnamon. Eliminate did the cinnamon and the recipe. Sweetness was still very good. Should have cooked a few minutes longer than the 23 minutes that I did. OR could try asking 1/4 cup more of oat flour. Although it still tasted very good!!
