Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 ripe bananas large
  • 2 large eggs
  • 4 tbsp melted butter, ghee or coconut oil
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup oat flour (See recipe below for easy homemade oat flour. All you need is oats!)
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup blueberries frozen works great!
  • 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips see info above for dark chocolate chips brands

Equipment

  • Blender (optional)

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 11x7 cake pan (can rub coconut oil into pan using a paper towel).
Easy Blender Method
  1. Add all ingredients (except for the chocolate chips) to a blender. Blend for about 30 seconds until all is well combined.
  2. Add in chocolate chips and stir with a spoon to combine.
  3. Pour batter into pan. Bake 50-60 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick- if it comes out free of gooey batter, it is done!
  4. Let cool on a wire rack for 30 minutes to set before inverting out of the pan to cool completely. 
Mix by Hand Method
  1. Mash bananas in a bowl. 
  2. Add the eggs, butter vanilla and whisk eggs until combined. 
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the flours, baking soda and salt. 
  4. Add the wet mixture into the dry. Stir together to combine. 
  5. Add in chocolate chips and stir to combine. 
  6. Pour batter into loaf pan. Bake for 50-60 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick- if it comes out free of gooey batter, it is done!
  7. Let cool on a wire rack for 30 minutes to set before inverting out of the pan to cool completely. 
How to Make Easy Homemade Oat Flour
  1. Simply blend your oats (old fashioned or quick oats varieties) in a food processor or low blade blender until an even flour consistency is created. 
  2. 1.5 cups oats makes about 1 cup oat flour.
Serving Suggestions
  1. Top a bar with a spread of nut butter for an extra boost of protein.
  2. Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat and add a bar to toast for a minute on each side.
