Description

A moist, gluten-free banana bread sweetened with maple syrup and speckled with dark chocolate chips.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 2 eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 cups oat flour (gluten free)
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips, divided
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas, olive oil, maple syrup, eggs, vanilla extract, Greek yogurt, and almond milk until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine oat flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt; stir to distribute evenly.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and fold just until incorporated, being careful not to overmix.
  5. Fold in half of the dark chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top.
  7. Bake for 45‑50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

For extra sweetness, drizzle with a little additional maple syrup. This bread stores well at room temperature for 2 days or in the fridge for up to a week.
