Ingredients

  • 2 banana mashed (2/3 cup, ripe
  • 2 egg large
  • 1 (15-oz) can garbanzo beans drained and rinsed
  • 1/3 cup coconut sugar
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour optional, gluten-free
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp lemon juice or vinegar
  • 3/4 tsp salt sea salt
  • 3/4 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a 9” x 5” loaf pan with parchment paper.
  2. Drain and rinse the garbanzo beans in a colander and pat them dry using a paper towel (try to get as much water off as possible, but it's fine if they're a little moist).
  3. Add all ingredients except for the chocolate chips to a blender and blend until smooth.
  4. Add the chocolate chips to the batter and stir in until combined.
  5. Transfer the banana bread batter to the parchment-lined loaf pan and bake on the center rack of the oven 40 to 50 minutes. I bake mine for 45 minutes, then turn off the oven and allow the loaf to sit another 5 minutes in the hot oven.
  6. Remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool at least 1 hour before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Adding 1/4 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour results in a fluffier bread texture.
  • Drain and pat chickpeas dry thoroughly to avoid excess moisture in batter.
  • Allow bread to cool at least one hour before slicing for better structure.
  • Chocolate chips provide sweet contrast; adjust amount based on preference.
