What you’ll need
The list:
- Eggs – cage-free eggs or any kind.
- 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. It’s the replacement for regular brown sugar and tastes literally the same.
- Banana – make sure to choose a ripe banana and not too black, otherwise, the flavor will change.
- Almond milk – Feel free to use any other type of plant-based milk or dairy milk.
- Vanilla extract
- Oat flour – I usually buy it, but you can make your own by blending quick oats into fine powder. Blend extra oat flour and save it in an airtight container for other baking or cooking recipes
- Almond flour – Make sure to use superfine blanched almond flour. It gives extra moisture and shelf life to baked goods. Don’t use almond meal or ground almonds, the difference is that the flavor and texture will change.
- Baking powder
- Baking soda
- Cinnamon
- Chocolate Chips

Ingredients substitutes and notes
- Replace coconut sugar with brown sugar.
- Replace almond flour with coconut flour, 1:1 flour or spelt flour.
- Don’t overmix or overwork the batter. Remember, almond flour is ground almonds. If you overmix it, the natural oils start to come out, like when making almond butter. The trick is to mix it just enough until getting a smooth batter.
