Ingredients

The following ingredients have 10 Servings
  • 5 very ripe large bananas (mashed)
  • 1/3 cup soy milk (or milk of choice)
  • 1/3 cup melted coconut oil (or unsweetened applesauce)
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup quick cooking steel cut oats or rolled oats (gluten free if preferred)
  • 1.5 cups whole wheat flour (or oat flour for gluten free, both ways work great!)
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 cup semi sweet chocolate chips (dairy free)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line a 5"x 9" loaf pan with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, mash the bananas and combine all the wet ingredients. Mix well.
  • To the same bowl, add the dry ingredients and mix until just combined, without over mixing. (A few lumps are a-ok!)
  • Pour the mixture into your loaf pan and gently smooth the top with a silicone spatula. Then sprinkle the chocolate chips on top (if using) and very gently press them down.
  • Bake for 45-55 minutes until lightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Then remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes before removing the loaf from the pan, using the parchment paper to help lift it out. Continue cooling on cooling rack for at least 20-30 minutes before slicing.
