Ingredients to make Chocolate Oatmeal Banana Bread

The list:

• Oat flour – It’s made from high quality pure oats which are then ground into a fine powder. Perfect for baking and cooking, whatever your diet requires.
• Unsweetened cacao powder – You can also use dark cocoa powder.
• Baking soda
• Coconut Sugar – Coconut sugar is a natural sugar from coconuts and 100% tree-to-table, avoiding the use of harmful chemicals and preservatives usually found in conventional sugars.
• Eggs – If vegan, replace with a flax egg.
• Milk of choice – I used unsweetened almond milk but you can use any other kind of plant-based or dairy milk.
• Salt – Adding salt to chocolate recipes is key! It enhances the flavor.
• Coconut oil – I used unrefined coconut oil. But feel free to use any kind of oil!
• Milk – I personally used unsweetened almond milk, as we are going to be adding sugar later on! Feel free to use any type of milk! It doesn’t change flavor on this recipe.
• Chocolate Chips
