4-Ingredient Flourless Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

Jump to Recipe

This 4-Ingredient Flourless Chocolate Chip Banana Bread is made with just bananas, oats, peanut butter & chocolate chips. That’s it and it’s so unbelieveably AMAZING!

4-Ingredient Flourless Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

Here I go again! Baking flourless bread with a few simple ingredients that turns out so delicious you’ll never miss the flour, butter, oil, eggs or sugars it doesn’t have in it. Flour-free, dairy-free and absolutely incredible.

If you’ve tried my Healthy Flourless Pumpkin Bread or Healthy 5-Ingredient Flourless Banana Bread recipes, you know you’re in for another great one! And if you haven’t baked these breads yet, you so need to. They’re easy and incredibly satisfying!

4-Ingredient Flourless Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

Like I said, just 4 ingredients! And ones that you probably always have on hand…

4-Ingredient Flourless Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

Bananas – I always buy extras so I can bake a loaf of banana bread at least once a week. The riper the bananas, the sweeter the loaf.

Peanut Butter (or another nut butter) – I love the combo of banana, peanut butter and chocolate! Feel free to substitute the peanut butter with almond butter or another nut butter, if preferred or necessary. Great source of protein!

Oatmeal – the oats are a great source of fiber and what give the bread its texture when they’re blended in the blender with the other ingredients. It’s such a perfect way to replace flour in quick breads. And you won’t need any special almond flour or gluten-free flour blend. Though, of course, if you want to make truly gluten-free chocolate chip banana bread, be sure to use gluten-free oats.

Chocolate Chips – the key ingredient, of course! 😉 I use dark chocolate chips, but feel free to use your favorite chocolate chips.

And that’s it! Just 5 ingredients! No added white or brown sugar, salt, baking powder, specialty gluten-free flours or coconut oil. And, in case simplicity is your thing, skip the bowl and the whisk. With this recipe, there’s no need to stir. You just blend all of the wet ingredients and dry ingredients together in your blender, stir in the chocolate chips, pour the batter into a loaf pan and bake.

How to Make 4-Ingredient Flourless Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

The first three ingredients get blended in the blender or food processor until a smooth batter forms and then you’ll just stir in the chocolate chips.

4-Ingredient Flourless Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

So quick and easy to whip up.

I love garnishing the top of my breads with a few of the ingredients within so with this loaf, I arrange thin slices of banana and sprinkle a handful of chocolate chips over the top before baking. Completely optional, of course!

4-Ingredient Flourless Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

Bake bout 30 minutes in a preheated oven and you’ll be pulling out warm chocolate chip peanut butter banana bread bliss that nobody will be able to resist. Store at room temperature in plastic wrap or in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

The texture is spot on when it comes to how banana bread should look and taste. Moist and tender with pure banana flavor. The peanut butter and chocolate flavors just make it all the more delicious. Mmmm…mmmm!

This banana bread truly meets, if not exceeds, those banana bread cravings I get so often. It’s been a family favorite lately for breakfast, snack time and even dessert. I already have the recipe memorized and it never ceases to mesmerize me each time I eat a slice.

Description

This 4-Ingredient Flourless Chocolate Chip Banana Bread is made with just bananas, oats, peanut butter & chocolate chips. That’s it and it’s so unbelieveably AMAZING!


Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds ripe bananas (about 4–5 medium bananas)
  • 2 cups old-fashioned oats
  • 1 cup creamy or crunchy peanut butter (or another nut butter such as almond butter)
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease 9×5-inch loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray and line with parchment paper; set aside.
  2. Add the bananas, oats and peanut butter to a blender and blend until smooth. Try not to over blend the batter as this will lead to a denser loaf. Blend just until the oats are ground. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  3. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan. Garnish with thin banana slices and more chocolate chips, if desired.
  4. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  5. Let bread cool completely in loaf pan. Store bread covered tightly with plastic wrap in the loaf pan or in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

If your blender is not very powerful or your batter is just too thick to blend in your blender, add 1/4 cup water to help it blend.

If you store the bread in the refrigerator it will become denser. You can put it in the microwave for 15-20 seconds or heat it in a warm oven for a few minutes to easily soften it back up.

        I’m glad you had success! You could try blending the oats and the banana together first and then add the peanut butter. You just want to make sure the oats get well blended so the texture turns out bread-like. Enjoy!

      Hi Amanda! I have not tried it so I couldn’t say for sure how it would turn out, but you could certainly try it. Because steel cut oats take longer to cook, I would recommend making sure the steel cut oats are blended really well with a powerful blender as you’re blending the batter. You might even want to blend them first in a food processor if you don’t think your blender will be powerful enough to blend them. I wouldn’t recommend using cooked steel cut oats because they would be so heavy that the loaf would be too dense and might not even bake up. Hope this helps. Enjoy!

    2nd time is the charm! The first time I tried recipe, I put all ingredients in blender at once and it was too thick. This time I mashed the bananas in a bowl, blended oats alone until it resembled a flour like consistency, did 1/2 cup of natural pb & 1/2 cup of unsweetened applesauce and mixed in mixing bowl. Baked for 60 min instead of 30. Swapped the chips for raisins and viola!!! Thanks for sharing this recipe. Will do again!!!

I followed the directions exactly (and I have to admit that I am NOT a baker) but the edges were hard and the middle still undercooked after many toothpick checks and return visits to the oven. Any suggestions? I do live at a higher altitude and wonder if that could be the culprit? Please help if anyone has any tips and tricks! 🙂

        May 9, 2019 at 2:44 pm

        Hi Alyson! It sounds like you might have over-blended the batter which actually starts cooking it a bit and prevents it from baking properly. If the batter is warm when you finish blending it, it was over-blended. You could also try covering the loaf with foil toward the end of the baking time which will trap in heat and help bake the bread all the way through. Hope this helps and that it turns out perfect for you next time you try it. Enjoy!

        Hi Susan! I wonder if you over-blended the batter. If the oats start to warm and cook into oatmeal, it will prevent the loaf from baking with a bread-like texture. What brand of oats did you use?

    Make sure you have a good blender before attempting this recipe as written! Mine gave out about halfway through (RIP Blender). I’ve actually adapted this recipe to make bars instead and I like it even better than the bread! To make bars, mash the bananas with a fork then add the peanut butter and use a hand mixer to fully combine the two. Then stir in the oats and chocolate chips. Bake in a greased 8×8 pan for about 10-15 minutes at 350, or until the top looks browned. I usually chill the bars in the pan for a couple of hours to make sure they firm up completely. If you’re serving them right away, warm and gooey bars would be glorious!

    It should be noted that oats are not ok for coeliacs. They contain avenin which acts like gluten and causes the same symptoms in some people. This is fine for those who are simply looking for a healthier alternative, but not ok for those who are diagnosed coeliacs.

    WOw;). I’m sure it’s going to be amazing (in the oven now) but this really isn’t a blender recipe. I’m sure the super high powered ones can mixup this Uber thick batter that has no liquid other than ripe bananas and peanut butter. My Breville is amazing at making homemade Lara bars and the like. But it couldn’t handle this goop without an extra egg, water and a whole lot of man handling. I’m excited to try it and if it works well I’ll mix it by hand using ground oats.

      January 24, 2019 at 6:38 pm

      Hi Izzah! I couldn’t say for sure because I haven’t tested the recipe with brewer’s yeast in it and adding any more dry ingredients would require adding some additional moisture so it blends well and bakes up moist. If I were to try it, I would start testing the recipe by adding 1/4 cup brewer’s yeast and 1/4 cup water. Hope this helps. Enjoy!

      Hi Alexandra! Oven temperatures do vary so it certainly could take longer. What type of pan were you baking it in? If the top looks done, but the center is not baked all the way through, I always recommend to tint the loaf with foil and continue to bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. This loaf shouldn’t take much longer than 40 minutes though. I hope it turned out great for you!

      Oh no! I wonder if you overblended the batter? If you blend the ingredients together to the point where start getting warm, the oats start to cook in the moisture and will therefore not bake into a bread-like texture when put in the oven. Hope this helps.

    It broke my blender so I just stirred them up without grinding the oats all the way down. Did drop cookies instead and they are moist and yummy. Baked at 350 until the tooth pick came out clean! I just substituted gluten free oats and used vegan friendly pure dark chocolate chips! So fabulous I don’t even mind replacing the blender:)

    I am completely in love with this bread! It is very heavy and dense but the flavors are amazing and make the denseness not seem unpleasant. It is very rich and a wonderful dessert with very little sugar, depending on the kind of chocolate chips you choose to add. We have been using dark chocolate and have made it 3 times in the last 8 or 9 days of quarantine. The whole family loves it and cant get enough, I’m having a hard time letting bananas ripen enough because we all want more right away! Hahaha! Thank you so much for this wonderful recipe!!!

You don’t have to refrigerate for the first 1-2 days, but if you plan to have some longer than 2 days, I recommend refrigerating it. We then just reheat it in the oven or microwave for bit before enjoying so it’s not cold. It reheats beautifully! Enjoy!

      June 26, 2020 at 5:30 pm

      Hi Neelam! I’m wondering if you over-blended the batter? If the oats start to warm in the blender, they will start cooking and turn into an oatmeal texture which will prevent the loaf from baking into a bread-like texture like they should. So sorry to hear you had to through it out. I hope you’re able to try it again soon because it really is an amazing bread that we bake almost weekly.

    I made this for the second time tonight and the batter came out better; not as thick. Used bigger bananas that were more ripe and used gluten-free oats instead of old fashioned. Blended them 1st and then added peanut butter. Used the smoothie setting on my blender and worked like a charm! The batter was actually pourable this time! Stirred in walnuts with sugar free chocolate chips. It’s in the oven now and can’t wait to try it!

    I wanted to love this recipe so much but I did not think it had banana bread texture at all. It was quite dense and the crust quite hard and I felt it was missing moisture. It is still edible and has pretty good taste and love that it’s only 4 ingredients. It is not very sweet even though I used ripe bananas. I blended oats first and then bananas with almond butter but did not mix a lot at all. Maybe I will try almond milk, an egg or applesauce next time. And will only blend oats in mixer and everything else by hand with a fork.

      Hi Vivian! I couldn’t say for sure because I haven’t tested the recipe with tahini and don’t bake with tahini often. It’s certainly worth a try though if the raw tahini is similar in texture to peanut butter. You just might have to adjust the amount based on how thick the batter blends up with the tahini. I hope it turns out just as great, if you try it. Enjoy!

5. Cut the excess dough into 12 stars using a mini star shaped cookie cutter.
6. Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut the remaining pie crust into ½-inch wide strips.
7. Use one of the long strips to create a small rectangle barrier in the top left corner of the sheet pan.
8. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and 1 tbsp water. Brush the egg wash over the top of the stars and stripes of dough.
9. Fill the large area completely with cherry pie filling.
10. Fill the small rectangle with blueberry pie filling.
11. Create 5 stripes on top of the cherry pie filling with the long strips of dough.
12. Arrange the stars on top of the blueberry pie filling.
13. Brush the edges of the pie crust with the remaining egg wash.
14. Sprinkle the stars and stripes with sparkling sugar.
15. Place the prepared pie in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to chill before baking.
16. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 450°F.
17. Bake the pie for about 25 minutes or until the crusts are golden brown and the pie filling is bubbling. If the edges of the pie start to brown before the stars and stripes, cover the edges with foil and continue baking until the crusts on top of the pie are golden brown.
18. Let the pie set for about 10 minutes before slicing into and serving. Serve with vanilla ice cream, if desired. Enjoy!
