Craving banana bread for breakfast? Try this Chocolate Chip Paleo Banana Bread N’Oatmeal Bake! It’s full of fiber and protein to keep you full and satisfied all morning! Also Vegan-friendly!
Me this morning: ” Oh hey big bunch of way overdue bananas! You seem like you need to be used up.” Maybe I should freeze them to use in a smoothie? Nahhhhhhh banana bread sounds like a better plan. Does that ever happen to you? You overestimate the amount of bananas you’ll actually eat and then they end up slowly rotting their lives away. Such a sad life for some bananas.
It doesn’t have to be though, if you are familiar with the magic of over ripe bananas. The more ripe the banana, the sweeter it is, and the better it is for baking. It’s like a win-lose situation, but the winning part is like a gold medal.
To all my banana bread lovers out there, this recipe is for you. No, you can’t slice it and eat it with your hands buttttt it’s still ah-maz-ing. It’s basically Spoonable (and swoonable) Banana Bread with mini chocolate chips. Mmmmm I love chocolate chip banana bread for breakfast. But here’s the problem: a slice of banana bread fills me up for maybe 5 minutes. Anyone else feel that way? Hanger is real #firstworldproblems
But fear not, because this Spoonable Banana Bread is full of protein and fiber, thanks to coconut flour. Yup that’s right, no oats in this bake (hence the word n’oatmeal). It’s not that I broke up with oatmeal, I just wanted to try something new. Now that I found the beauty of subbing coconut flour in place of oats for breakfast, it maybe my new favorite breakfast for a few weeks/months/years.
Only a few simple ingredients are needed to make this swoon-worthy recipe:
over-ripe bananas
almond milk
egg OR flax egg
vanilla
cinnamon
baking soda
baking powder
mini chocolate chips
walnuts

Question of the day:
What’s your favorite way to use ripe bananas?
I’ve never had baked oatmeal before but have been meaning to try it- chocolate chip banana sounds like a good place to start!
I want to try this! an oatmeal bake sounds so perfect. Especially topped with PB!
Do you deliver because I would really like this for breakfast today!
This is what I want for breakfast – swoon! All my favorite things in one delicious dish 🙂 looks so good.
Lack of slice-ability is totally made up for 110% by the fact that I can just dive straight into that gooey goodness spoon first AND that there are chocolate chips!! I’d even argue this could double as dessert 🙂 I would even steal from my ripening-for-nicecream stash to make this beautiful banana bake!
Baking powder is not Paleo, just fyi! Great sounding recipe.
This looks so gooey and delicious!
I love baked oatmeal so I’ve got to try this noatmeal version!
Mmmm this sounds so good! I’ve been all about baked Paleo goodies lately.
This looks so gooey and delicious! Yum!!!
Oh yes; every time I have over ripe bananas I love to make banana bread. Now I have a new option.
I think that’s genius to have it in a bowl and not sliced!
I can just imagine the big scoops of deliciousness!
This is such a cool idea! And I love the flavor combo. Chocoalte and banana were made for each other.
YUM. Walnuts, banana, coconut AND chocolate chips! This sounds incredible and easy to make as well! I love paleo “oatmeal”, it’s just like a pudding for breakfast!
Years ago all my over ripe bananas would be made into milk shakes or sad to say end up in the trash. Then everything changed almost 4 years ago when I discovered overnight oats so I will just make about a quadruple or bigger batch, freeze it and my lovely breakfast awaits!! I prefer it cold with lots of fresh blueberries on top thank u very much!! YUM!! Great blog btw, glad I found u!! Cathy C.
