Description
Quick, wholesome, and so easy, this banana bread blends ripe bananas, oats, and peanut butter for a soft, satisfying loaf dotted with melty chocolate chips.
Ingredients
4–5 ripe bananas (medium-sized)
2 cups old-fashioned oats
¾ cup natural peanut butter (or almond/cashew butter)
½ cup chocolate chips (use dairy-free if needed)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and line with parchment paper.
In a blender, combine bananas, oats, and peanut butter. Blend until smooth but slightly textured.
Stir in chocolate chips by hand.
Pour batter into the prepared pan. Optionally, top with banana slices and extra chocolate chips.
Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Tent with foil if top browns too quickly.
Notes
Use almond or cashew butter for flavor variety.
Add honey or maple syrup if more sweetness is desired.
Mix in chopped nuts or dried fruit for extra texture.
