What is better than bread and dark chocolate combined into one?! I’m not really sure because that sounds divine! If you’re anything like me dark chocolate and carbs are part of your daily life! I found the best way to have the two are in this healthy banana bread that my friend Sari, Eatwellwithsari created! It’s so thick, filling, and perfect with some almond butter, jelly, and extra chocolate chips!
Let’s whip it up!
Ingredients:
-
2 Ripe Spotty Bananas
-
2 Eggs
-
¼ cup Unsweetened Apple Sauce
-
¼ cup Coconut Oil (Melted and cooled or liquid)
-
1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
-
1.5 cups Gluten Free Oat Flour
-
2 tbsp Flaxmeal (for extra fiber - you can omit if you like)
-
¼ cup Coconut sugar
-
½ tsp Cinnamon
-
1 tsp Baking Soda
-
½ cup Dark Chocolate Chips
Directions:
-
Preheat oven to 350.
-
Mash bananas well so that the chunks are fairly small. I love using a potato masher and cutting board. You can also use a bowl/ fork or an electronic mixer.
-
Add mashed bananas, eggs, coconut oil (melted or liquid), apple sauce and vanilla in a large bowl and mix well.
-
Add baking soda, cinnamon, coconut sugar, flaxmeal and oat flour in the bowl. Mix again until the batter forms.
-
Add in chocolate chips and any additional desired toppings.
-
Grease and/or line a mini loaf pan, large loaf pan or muffin tin with coconut oil spray. Add batter into the pan of your choice. Top with some additional chocolate chips and rolled oats. Place in the oven to bake.
Mini loaf pan - 25 minutes
Large loaf pan - 55 minutes
Muffins - 20 minutes
I’ve been wanting to make this recipe for so long because I’ve seen it all over her instagram and finally had the time to do it — NO REGRETS! Pretty sure John and I ate the whole loaf in two days .. I’m sure you will too! Be sure to tag @froyotofitness and @eatwellwithsari if you make it! XOXO!
