Equipment

2 mixing bowls
1 9x5 loaf pan

Ingredients

2 cups oat flour (certified gluten free if needed)
¼ cup chocolate protein powder
2 tbsp. cacao powder
2 tbsp. tapioca starch (or arrowroot starch)
¼ cup coconut sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
¼ tsp. baking soda
¼ tsp. fine sea salt
½ cup mashed ripe banana
1 tsp. vanilla extract
½ tbsp. apple cider vinegar
2 tbsp. coconut oil, melted
2 eggs room temp
¼ cup milk (dairy or non-dairy will work)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350-degrees F. Grease and line a 9x5 loaf pan with parchment. Make sure there is extra parchment paper hanging over the ends. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, add the oat flour, protein powder, cacao powder, starch, coconut sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the mashed banana, vanilla, apple cider vinegar, coconut oil, eggs, and milk.
Add the wet ingredients to the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour batter into prepared loaf pan. Bake for 48-53 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool for 15 minutes before removing from the pan.
Pull on the excess parchment paper to remove. Allow to fully cool, slice and enjoy!

Notes

Using room temp eggs helps the bread to rise. If your eggs aren't room temp, you can run them under hot water for about a minute.
Slice bread into thick slices and then cut in half if wanting smaller pieces. Oat flour bread is more fragile than regular wheat breads, so cutting it into thicker slices helps keep the bread together.
