How to make Healthy Chocolate Banana Bread 

Preparing this delectable chocolate bread is a breeze. Simply preheat your oven, grease a  9×5-inch (23×13 cm) loaf pan, and line it with parchment paper.

Next, mash ripe bananas in a bowl until smooth and creamy. In a separate bowl, whisk together oat flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon for a perfect blend of flavors. In a larger bowl, cream together eggs, honey or maple syrup, butter, and oil until light and fluffy. Stir in yogurt and vanilla extract until fully incorporated, then gently fold in the mashed bananas. Gradually add the oat flour mixture, stirring until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle the top with chocolate chips or chunks for an extra indulgent touch. 

Bake for about 40-45 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, then let the bread cool completely before slicing. This step ensures neat, even slices that are perfect for enjoying with a cup of tea or coffee.
