Ingredients

Instructions

  • PREP:
    Preheat your oven to 350 °F and line or grease a standard loaf pan. Set aside.
  • BREAD: In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until fairly smooth. Add in the remaining wet ingredients, from the maple syrup to the vanilla and stir well.
  • Add in the dry ingredients, from the chickpea flour to the salt. Stir until just combined
  • Fold in the chocolate chips. (Uncooked chickpea flour tastes horrible, so while it may be tempting, I don't recommend tasting the batter!)
  • BAKE: Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick or knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the bread to cool in the pan for a while before removing it to continue cooling on a wire rack. Slice and enjoy!
  • STORE: Store the leftovers in an airtight container on the counter for 1-2 days or in the fridge for longer.

Notes

*Aquafaba is the liquid in a can of chickpeas.
**Chickpea flour can also be called garbanzo bean flour, gram flour and besan flour. Chana is also chickpea flour, but the chickpeas have been roasted. Use unroasted chickpea flour!
