Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 ripe bananas mashed (about 1 cup)
  • 1 Tbsp chia seeds
  • 1/3 cup real maple syrup
  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips or chunk
  • 1 cup chopped walnut pieces

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350° F and spray the pan with cooking spray
  • If using a blender, add all of the ingredients except the nuts and chocolate and blend until smooth. If using a bowl, whisk the eggs well until uniform in color. In order of the ingredient list, add each one at a time, except the chocolate chips and nuts, whisking well after each addition. When smooth, add the chips and the nuts. If I am using a blender, I pulse the chips and nuts to break them down just a tad more.
  • Pour into prepared baking dish
  • Bake for 22-24 minutes for a 9x9” pan or 24-26 minutes for an 8”x8” pan at 350° F, or until set in the center.
  • When cooled, cut into 16-25 squares. You can leave the bread out at room temperature for a few days; store it in the refrigerator for up to two weeks; or freeze these for 6 months in a tightly sealed container.
