Ingredients You’ll Need:

• 2 eggs – helps bind the bread and gives structure.

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract – adds warm, cozy flavor.

• ¼ cup pure maple syrup – a natural sweetener that complements the bananas perfectly.

• 2 cups rolled oats – use certified gluten-free oats if needed. These will blend into oat flour.

‍ How to Make Banana Blender Bread:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.

2. Blend ingredients: In a high-speed blender or food processor, add all ingredients except the chocolate chips. Blend until smooth and creamy.

3. Add chocolate chips: Remove the blade, then gently fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula.

4. Transfer to pan: Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top with a spoon or spatula.

5. Top with more chips: Sprinkle a few extra dark chocolate chips on top for an irresistible finish.

6. Bake for 25–30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

7. Cool and slice: Let the bread cool in the pan for about 20 minutes before removing and slicing.

Tips for Best Results:

• Use extra ripe bananas with brown spots for the sweetest flavor.

• Don’t over-blend once you add the oats—just until smooth!

• This bread is best enjoyed fresh, especially while the chocolate is still melty and warm.
