Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 flax eggs 2 tablespoon flax + 5 tablespoon water
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • ⅓ cup coconut sugar
  • ½ cup applesauce
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • ⅛ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ cup cacao powder or cocoa
  • ¼ cup almond milk
  • 1 cup banana ripe & mashed, 2 large or 3 small
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour gluten-free
  • ⅓ cup oat flour
  • ⅓ cup almond flour
  • ½ cup dark chocolate chips plus more for topping

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl, make flax eggs and let it sit for 3-5 minutes. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or grease it.
  • Add the applesauce, maple syrup, vanilla, coconut sugar, cacao, sea salt, baking soda and baking powder. Whisk until combined. Then add almond milk and mashed bananas. Stir.
  • Add the gluten-free flour, oat flour and almond flour and whisk. Now add in the chocolate chips and stir.
  • Pour into a loaf pan then top with more chocolate chips.
  • Bake for 45-55 minutes until the edges are firm to the touch and a fork comes out clean.
  • Let cool completely before slicing. Transfer to a plate to cool by lifting the parchment or flipping over carefully. Store in an air-tight container for about 3 days.

Notes

  • Make your own oat flour by blending rolled oats in a high-speed blender on high until a flour forms.
  • Store this bread in the fridge to make it last a couple days longer.
  • Add in any other mix-ins or toppings you like including walnuts, raisins, carob chips, pecans, coconut flakes, or chopped dates.
  • Test if the bread is done by sticking a toothpick into the center. When you pull it out the toothpick should be mostly clean! If there’s batter on it, the loaf isn’t done yet.
