Equipment

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 ripe bananas (mashed)
  • 1/4 c olive oil
  • 1/2 c maple syrup
  • 2 eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 c Greek yogurt
  • 2 c oat flour (gluten free)
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 c dark chocolate chips* (divided)
  • Pinch of salt

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper, and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, use a large fork or wooden spoon to mix together the mashed banana, olive oil, and maple syrup.
    When mashing the banana, I find that a potato masher works great for this step!
  • Add the eggs and vanilla, and mix until fully incorporated.
  • Now, gently fold in the Greek yogurt until no streaks of yogurt remain.
  • Add in the oat flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking flour, and pinch salt. Fold the dry ingredients until incorporated.
  • Now, gently fold in 1/2 c of the chocolate chips.
  • Pour the batter into the loaf pan, smoothing the top so it’s flat.
  • Sprinkle the top of the batter with the remaining 1/2 c of chocolate chips.
  • Bake for about 1 hour, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
    Start checking the loaf at around the 50 minute mark.
  • Cool on a wire rack before slicing and enjoying!

Notes

*Mini chocolate chips work amazing for this recipe! I love to use an organic dark chocolate chip brand, like Pascha's.
