Ingredients

• 3 large Ripe bananas
• 2 cups Gluten-free rolled oats
• 1 cup Almond flour
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.25 cup Maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup Coconut oil (melted) or vegetable oil
• 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (optional)
• 0.5 cup Dark chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch (23x13 cm) loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher.

Step 3

Add the eggs, maple syrup, melted coconut oil (or vegetable oil), and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Whisk until combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, combine the gluten-free rolled oats, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix well.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

If using, fold in the chopped nuts and/or dark chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
