1 ½ cups Organic all-purpose flour (I used Bob's Red Mill)
½ cup Organic rolled oats (I used Bob's Red Mill)
3 large Organic ripe bananas, mashed
½ cup quinoa, cooked (I used the truRoots brand)
½ teaspoon baking soda (If you use a highly potent brand like Bob's Red Mill, use a little less than ½ teaspoon instead!)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon sea salt
2-3 Tbsps pure maple syrup (Lessen for less sweetness!)
¼ cup coconut oil, melted
1 'chia egg'--1 tablespoon chia seeds + 3 Tbsps water

½ cup vegan chocolate chips (I used The Enjoy Life Foods brand)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and line a loaf pan with parchment paper (or grease it using vegan butter).
Start by grinding the oats into flour using a food processor.
In a small bowl, add chia seeds with water, stirring until combined and letting it sit for 2-3 minutes until it becomes gel-like.
Combine the mashed bananas, coconut oil, SunButter, maple syrup, and Almond milk together in a medium bowl and mix until well combined. **NOTE: Add additional milk, 1 tablespoon at a time if batter is too thick!**
Then stir in organic all-purpose flour, oat flour, cooked quinoa, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, chia eggs, and sea salt and mix together using a rubber spatula until well incorporated! **Try not to over-mix!**
Fold in the chocolate chips.
Add batter into prepared loaf pan and bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick or knife that is inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Once done, remove bread from oven and let it cool for a bit before removing it from loaf pan to cool for 10 minutes or so.
Slice and bon appetite!
