Ingredients
- 3 large bananas
- 3 eggs
- ½ cup milk of your choice
- 2 tbsp canola/vegetable oil
- 3 tbsp Sweetener of your choice (I used raw sugar but you can use honey or coconut sugar)
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 2½ tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
Pre-heat the oven to 160ºC/320ºF and line a 22cm x 12cm (9" x 5") loaf pan with baking paper/parchment.
- Add the bananas, eggs, milk, oil, sweetener, oats, baking powder, salt and cinnamon to a blender in that order. (Adding the wet ingredients first will allow the blender to easily blend the batter.)
- Blend until smooth, stopping and scraping down the blender if needed.
- When the batter is smooth, fold in the chocolate chips with a rubber spatula.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan then transfer to the oven.
- Bake the banana bread for 1 hour and 20 minutes, covering with foil after 30 minutes if the bread is browning too fast.
- The banana bread is ready when it is golden brown and risen and firm to the touch. A skewer inserted should come out with moist crumbs.
- Remove the banana bread from the oven and allow to cool for 20 minutes in the pan before removing and allowing to cool completely on a wire rack.
