A delicious moist cake loaded with chcolate chunks is the ultimate weekend dessert. Make sure the bananas are crazy ripe, the more freckles the better. This recipe is totally gluten-free and you will use gluten-free rolled oats that are processed until they reach a flour-like consistency.
Ingredients
- 2 cups ripe banana mashed
- 1 1/2 cups natural no-stir almond butter softened
- 5 tbsp honey
- 3 tbsp (33grams/1.2Oz) coconut sugar packed
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup (118ml) unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 3 eggs beaten
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 3/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/3 cup (37 grams/ 1.3Oz) coconut flour
- 1 cup gluten-free oats pulsed in a food processor until it reaches a powder
- 2 tbsp flax seed ground
- 1/4 cup mini dairy-free dark chocolate chips
- 1/2 banana sliced lengthwise
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F and grease a 9×5” loaf pan
- In one bowl, mix together the banana, almond butter, honey, coconut sugar, vanilla, almond milk, and eggs.
- In another bowl, mix together the salt, cinnamon, baking soda, powder, coconut flour, oats, and flax.
- Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and add in half of the chocolate chips.
- Fill the loaf pan with the batter and place the banana half, cut side up, in the centre of the loaf. Sprinkle with the remaining chocolate chips and bake for 50 -60 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out with only a few crumbs clinging onto it (but not super damp crumbs).
- Allow cooling on a cooling rack before removing from the pan and serving.
