Flourless Vegan Gluten-free Oatmeal Banana Bread

Ingredients

• 2 medium-size ripe bananas
• 1/4 cup Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Breeze Almondmilk
• 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
• 1/4 cup unsweetened creamy peanut butter*
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 and 3/4 + 1/2 cup rolled oats (divided**)
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil***
• 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions

1. 1

   Grease or line a loaf pan then preheat the oven to 350°F.

2. 2

   Starting with the bananas and working down to the list to the melted coconut oil, place all of the ingredients (except for 1/2 cup rolled oats and dark chocolate chips) in a blender. Blend on high for about 10 seconds, until a smooth batter forms. It's okay if it's not perfectly smooth. You don't want to over blend the batter or it could become gummy.

3. 3

   Add the remaining oats and the chocolate chips to the blender and stir everything together with a spoon. Pour the batter into the loaf pan and bake for about 30 minutes, or until golden brown. A knife should come out clean when you stick it into the center of the loaf.

4. 4

   Allow to cool for at least 15 minutes before removing from the pan. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
