Refined Sugar-Free Chocolate Banana Bread

 4 ripe bananas, mashed
 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
 ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
 1 tbsp pure vanilla extract
 2 eggs, room temp
 1 ½ cups oat flour (ground rolled oats, or any flour is ok)
 ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
 1 tsp salt
 1 tbsp baking powder
 1 tsp baking soda
1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or grease with coconut oil or ghee.

2

In a large bowl, combine mashed bananas and honey. Blend well with a hand mixer until smooth and let sit in bowl for about 5-10 minutes.

3

While that sets, combine all dry ingredients in a small bowl and whisk well until no lumps are formed.

4

Once you have waited for the bananas to soak in the honey, add applesauce, vanilla and eggs and beat well until smooth.

5

Slowly add dry ingredients to wet and beat well until combined. If you use regular flour and not oat flour, be sure not to over mix. This will lead to a dense and not fluffy texture.

6

Pour mixture into loaf pan and bake for about 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center.

7

Let cool 10 minutes in pan before removing from pan. Allow to cool on a baking rack before slicing. Serve warm or store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
