IMG_1723[1]

Ingredients

  • 150g plain flour
  • 1 cup (80g) rolled oats
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 cup (170g) maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup (105g) coconut oil/butter, melted & cooled
  • 200g greek yoghurt
  • 1/2 cup (125g) smooth/crunchy peanut butter, room temp.
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 3 small/2 large ripe bananas, mashed
  • 100g chocolate chips

Method

1. Preheat oven to 180°C.

2. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper.

3. In a large bowl, combine the first 4 ingredients.  Set aside.

4. In a medium bowl, combine the syrup, coconut oil/butter, yoghurt, peanut butter and egg. Add the wet mixture to the dry and then fold in the mashed bananas. Pour the batter into your loaf pan and sprinkle the chocolate chips on top (you can also mix the chocolate chips through the mixture instead of sprinkling on top).

5. Bake for approx 60 minutes.  Allow to cool slightly before slicing.  Store leftovers in an airtight container.

*I love this when it is just out of the oven or else the day after I like to heat it up in the microwave so it’s warm and the chocolate chips are just about melting .. Yummaay!

Enjoy,
