For a nuttier flavor, try using almond butter instead of peanut butter. Feel free to substitute other types of chocolate chips, like dark chocolate or white chocolate. Add a handful of chopped walnuts or pecans for extra texture. Store the cooled loaf in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and lightly flour an 8-inch square baking pan. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, 1 cup flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and baking powder. (5 minutes)
03
StepIn a separate large bowl, whisk together the milk, applesauce, honey, peanut butter, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add the beaten eggs and mix well. (3 minutes)
04
StepGradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Gently fold in the mashed bananas. (5 minutes)
05
StepPour half of the batter into the prepared baking pan. (2 minutes)
06
StepBake in the preheated oven until the surface is partially set, about 5 minutes. Remove from oven.
07
StepIn a small bowl, toss the milk chocolate chips and semi-sweet chocolate chips with 1 teaspoon of flour until lightly coated. This prevents them from sinking. (3 minutes)
08
StepSprinkle the chocolate chip mixture evenly over the partially baked loaf. Pour the remaining batter over the chocolate chips. (2 minutes)
09
StepReturn to the oven and bake for 35-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown. (40 minutes)
10
StepLet the loaf cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. (15 minutes)

Jun 23, 2025I've made this loaf several times, and it's always a hit. I like to add a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking to enhance the sweetness.
