This healthy banana bread is loaded with oats, rich chocolate, and naturally sweet banana flavor. Perfect for breakfast or a satisfying snack.
Ingredients
2 overripe bananas
1/3 cup cottage cheese (or Greek yogurt)
1/2 cup cane sugar
1/3 cup light olive oil (or avocado oil)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
2 large eggs
2 1/4 cups oat flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup chocolate chunks
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper.
Blend wet ingredients: In a blender, combine bananas, cottage cheese, sugar, oil, vanilla, and vinegar. Blend until smooth.
Mix with eggs: Pour mixture into a bowl and whisk in the eggs.
Combine dry ingredients: In another bowl, whisk oat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
Combine wet & dry: Add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined.
Fold in chocolate chunks.
Bake: Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 45–55 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool: Let cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For a dairy-free option, use plant-based yogurt.
To make oat flour at home, blend rolled oats until fine.
Chocolate chips can be used instead of chunks.
