Healthy Oatmeal chocolate chip banana bread
Description
The Healthy Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Banana Bread uses very ripe bananas mashed and combined with rolled oats, all-purpose or whole wheat flour, and leavening agents to create a moist yet textured quick bread. Coconut oil and honey provide moisture and sweetness, with vanilla extract enhancing the flavor slightly. After mixing dry and wet ingredients separately, the batter is folded with dark chocolate chips. The loaf bakes in a greased pan until a toothpick comes out mostly clean, ensuring a tender crumb with occasional chocolate bursts. The oats contribute chewiness and a heartier texture than typical banana bread.
This bread serves well as a breakfast or snack, bringing natural sweetness and wholesome ingredients together. It can be stored at room temperature for a few days or refrigerated for up to a week. Freezing is possible when well wrapped, and slices reheat well in the microwave for a quick treat.
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ Cup all-purpose flour or Whole Wheat
- 1 Cup rolled oats old-fashioned
- 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 4 Large banana very ripe
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ Cup coconut oil melted
- 2 Medium egg room temperature
- ½ Cup honey raw
- 1 Cup dark chocolate chips
- sea salt pinch
- honey optional, or maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with coconut oil.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, oats, baking powder, soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In another bowl add the bananas and roughly mash with a fork. Whisk in the coconut oil, honey, vanilla, and eggs.
- Slowly add the flour mixture. Whisk just until combined, then fold in the chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 45 to 50 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean. A few crumbs are fine, you do not want to see wet batter on the toothpick.
- Cool bread completely on a wire cooling rack. Once cooled, remove from pan and enjoy!
Notes
- Store banana bread covered at room temperature for up to 3 days, then refrigerate for up to 7 days.
- Wrap tightly to freeze for up to 3 months to preserve freshness.
- Reheat individual slices in the microwave for 20-30 seconds to warm through before serving.
