Ingredients

1 1/2 cups oat flour (use gluten free if needed)
3 very ripe bananas
2/3 cup coconut sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg room temperature
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup vegan butter, melted and cooled (swap for regular unsalted butter)
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (or semi-sweet)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F
Whisk together dry ingredients: In a bowl whisk together oat flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Mix wet ingredients: in a separate large bowl, either use a hand-mixer or use a fork to mash bananas until smooth. Mix in peanut butter, coconut sugar, vanilla, and melted butter. Then stir in egg last.
Add dry to wet: Mix dry ingredients into wet, do not over-mix batter. Gently fold in chocolate chips.
Line pan and bake: line a loaf pan with parchment paper. Then add batter to pan and bake for 55-60 minutes - test with toothpick. Let bread cool for 10-20 minutes before pulling edges of parchment paper and removing bread from pan. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

Use room temperature ingredients: Ingredients temperatures are key - you never want to serve this recipe with a cold egg and hot/warm melted butter or oil. Why? Well, two unpleasant things can happen. The egg can accidentally cook from the warm butter, or the cold egg can start to solidify the melted butter. Before combing ingredients make sure ingredient temperatures are just right!

Make it nut free: Don't want to use a nut butter? You can swap peanut butter for the same amount of sunflower seed butter instead.

How to make oat flour: You don't have to purchase oat flour to use it. You can blend whole oats or quick oats in a high-powered blender on high speed for 20-30 seconds. The consistency should be very fine just like flour.
