chocolate oatmeal banana bread recipe no eggs dairy free no milk easy oatmeal chocolate chips cinnamon easy healthy no sugar low calorie low cal diet friendly

Eat up this delicious banana bread thats totally eggless, milk-free, and sugar free! I’ve yet to meet a soul that doesn’t like this banana bread, it’s been a signature treat of mine for years and never disappoints. What I love about this bread is that it’s guilt free and super filling. Whole wheat flour (or all purpose flour depending on your preference) and oatmeal provide you with loads of fibre and energy, making it the perfect breakfast or snack option. It’s also great for those on a diet that are looking for a filling, low-fat dessert.

The bread is also very moist and dense, so it doesn’t dry up and can hold at room temperature for quite a while (although because of it’s deliciousness I don’t think it will last very long!). The secret to it’s moist-ness is the yogurt as well as the creamy bananas – make sure to use ripe bananas, the riper the better!

I personally love this bread once it’s cooled down, but you can definitely eat it straight out of the oven or even warm it up in the microwave. Now who can resist melted, gooey chocolate?
