  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • 3 very ripe bananas
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil (avocado oil recommended)
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups oat flour
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Add-ins

  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips, plus more for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a loaf pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Mash Bananas. In a large bowl, mash the very ripe bananas thoroughly using a potato masher or the back of a fork until smooth with some texture remaining.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients. Whisk the eggs into the mashed bananas, then add the vegetable (avocado) oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract, mixing well to form a cohesive wet mixture.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients. In a separate bowl, combine the oat flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, and salt ensuring they are evenly distributed.
  5. Fold Dry into Wet. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, careful not to overmix, to maintain a light batter.
  6. Add Chocolate Chips. Gently fold in the 1/2 cup of chocolate chips until evenly incorporated.
  7. Prepare for Baking. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, then top with additional chocolate chips, a sprinkle of rolled oats, and a dusting of sugar to create a beautiful, glistening crust.
  8. Bake. Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Cool and Serve. Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool completely in the loaf pan before slicing. Enjoy your moist, flavorful banana bread!

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for optimal sweetness and moisture.
  • You can substitute oat flour with whole wheat flour for a different texture, but the flavor will vary.
  • Maple syrup adds natural sweetness but can be swapped for honey if preferred.
  • Ensure not to overmix the batter to keep the bread tender.
  • Storing: Keep the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • Freezing: Slice and freeze for longer storage, thawing slices as needed.
  • For a vegan version, replace eggs with flax eggs or a commercial egg replacer.
