Ingredients
  

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs Create structure and richness while helping bind the ingredients together.
  • 1 cup mashed banana Adds natural sweetness and moisture to the bread.
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil Keeps the bread moist and adds a subtle tropical flavor.
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup A natural sweetener that enhances the flavor profile.
  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar Adds depth of flavor with caramel-like notes.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Enhances flavor with a warm aromatic touch.

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups oat flour Provides a nutty flavor and is gluten-free.
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda A leavening agent that helps the bread rise.
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder Works alongside baking soda for an optimal rise.
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt Balances sweetness and enhances flavors.
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon Adds warmth and spice, elevating the flavor profile.
  • 1 cup chocolate chips Melting into the bread for rich, sweet pockets of flavor.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper or grease it well.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, mashed banana, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, coconut sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Add the oat flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon directly to the wet ingredients. Stir with a rubber spatula until no streaks of flour remain, then fold in chocolate chips.
  • Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.

Cooking

  • Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle with extra mini chocolate chips if desired.
  • Bake for 50–60 minutes until the top has a nice crack in the middle and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Serving

  • Let the loaf cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Serve warm with almond butter, Greek yogurt, or a sprinkle of cinnamon. This banana bread can also be frozen for up to three months.
