Servings 1 loaf

Equipment

  • 1 loaf pan a different sized smaller pan or baking dish can also work
  • 1 large bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 3 bananas the spottier the better!
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil melted
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup sourdough discard
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 egg can sub a flax egg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 3/4 cup oat flour
  • 1/3 cup chocolate chips optional, but if you omit these you are omitting the joy
  • 1/3 cup chopped walnuts optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease your baking dish with a little bit of coconut oil and set it aside.
  • Peel your bananas and toss them into a bowl. Mash with a fork until no big chunks remain. Add your coconut oil. maple syrup, and sourdough discard. Mix until combined.
  • Add the egg, vanilla, and salt to the bowl. Mix until everything is well incorporated.
  • Add the baking powder, baking soda, flour, almond flour, and oat flour to the bowl. Mix until there are no more dry bits of flour left. At this point you should have a thick batter. If it appears to be more on the runny side, you can add a little more oat flour.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips and walnuts.
  • Pour the mixture into your baking dish. Feel free to "score" the batter by drawing a line down the middle longways with a knife. Doing this allows the bread open up in the middle, and in my experience bakes it more evenly. It also makes you feel like a professional baker.
  • Place it in the oven and bake for 40-50 minutes, or until it's golden brown on top and it passes the toothpick test. Let it cool a bit and serve with butter, cream cheese, or whatever spread you like!

Notes

I know not everyone has regular flour, oat flour, and almond flour on them at all times. You can mess with the flour ratios a little or add more or less of a certain flour if you need to. This recipe is super forgiving, so if something is a little off, it will turn out fine!
