  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup sugar-free semi-sweet chocolate chips divided (Such as Lily’s) or chocolate chips of choice

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, combine the dry ingredients (oat flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt).
  • In a large mixing basin, mash the bananas until well combined and liquidy, then add the eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla.
  • Stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until well blended. Stir in 1/2 cup of chocolate chips.
  • Pour into the prepared loaf pan, sprinkle with the remaining chocolate chips, and bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • Remove from the loaf pan and let it cool 15 minutes before cutting.
