chocolate chip banana bread

Course: Dessert

Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas
  • 1 cup oat flour (you can find this in the bulk section at Whole Foods)
  • .75 cup raw sugar
  • 1 egg
  • .75-1 cup dark chocolate chips (I like lots of chocolate in my bread, but use an amount to your liking)
  • 1 tbsp pumpkin pie spices (yes, that is what it is called! This adds a little ‘zing’ flavor to the bread.)
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp Earth Balance butter melted
  • .75 tsp baking powder
  • .5 tsp baking soda

Hollyized Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  • Gather all your ingredients.
  • Then the easy part: throw everything into your mixer! Using your flat beater, mix it up!
  • There will be a little “bumpy” noise from the chocolate chips. Just keep an eye on it, and slow down the speed, or stop if you think it is too noisy.
  • Next, spray your loaf pan with a little EVOO to prevent any sticking. Pour your banana bread mixture into the loaf pan, and loosely cover it with foil for about 30 minutes. This helps keep the moisture in your bread. After 30 minutes, quickly take the loaf out of the oven, remove the foil, and bake for another 15 minutes.
  • Then pull it out of the oven, and you’re all set! (I told you it was easy!) Enjoy this healthy spin on chocolate chip banana bread! It makes for a great lazy Sunday morning breakfast paired with a cup of coffee, or sweet treat after dinner.
