Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- ½ cup pumpkin purée
- 1 cup mashed ripe bananas
- 1 ¾ cups gluten free rolled oats
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ⅓ cup pure maple syrup (or honey)
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a bread pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy removal of the bread.
- Blend Ingredients: Add the pumpkin purée, mashed bananas, gluten free rolled oats, egg, baking soda, and maple syrup into a blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.
- Incorporate Chocolate Chips: Stir the chocolate chips into the blended batter gently to distribute them without breaking them down.
- Prepare for Baking: Pour the batter into the parchment-lined bread pan. Optionally, sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top for added texture and visual appeal.
- Bake: Place the bread pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with only moist crumbs.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan before slicing. This helps it set properly and makes slicing easier.
Notes
- You can substitute honey for maple syrup if preferred.
- Ensure bananas are very ripe for best natural sweetness and moisture.
- Make sure to fully cool the bread before slicing to prevent crumbling.
- Using gluten-free oats ensures the bread is gluten-free; regular oats can be used if gluten is not a concern.
- The bread can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
