  • 70 g granular sweetener monk fruit, or brown sugar

Method
 

  1. Heat oven to 350°F (180°C) and fold a 20 cm loaf pan with parchment paper or grease with oil.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, mash three ripe bananas with a fork until completely smooth. Stir nut butter and eggs into the banana mixture.
  3. Add the granular sweetener of choice, vanilla extract and salt. Stir the wet mixture with a whisk or fork for around two minutes, or until all is well combined.
  4. Stir in oat flour, cocoa powder and baking powder. Give it a good stir until all is well combined, then fold through chocolate chips.
  5. Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan, and if desired top with chocolate chips. Bake in hot oven for 30 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of your chocolate banana bread comes out clean.
