  • ⅓ tsp sea salt Balances sweetness and enhances flavor
  • 1 ½ cup (150 g) oat flour Can substitute with almond flour for a low-carb version

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and prepare a 7.9-inch loaf pan with parchment paper or light greasing.
  2. Mash the 3 ripe bananas in a large bowl, then add ¼ cup of nut butter and 2 large eggs, mixing well. Incorporate the sweetener, vanilla extract, and sea salt for flavor.
  3. Fold in the dry ingredients: oat flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder, then mix in ¼ cup of chocolate chips.
  4. Pour the batter into the loaf pan, optionally adding more chocolate chips on top. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes.
