Ingredients
  • 1/3 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup almond milk
  • 1 can garbanzos, drained and rinsed
  • 1 large banana, mashed
  • 1 tablespoon peanut butter
  • 2 cup wheat flour
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • handful of chocolate chips
Directions
  1. In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream together the butter and maple syrup for a few minutes. Add the the vanilla, almond milk, garbanzos, peanut butter, and banana. Mix on high with the paddle attachment until everything is smooth, or 5-7 minutes.
  2. In another bowl, whisk together the wheat flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix until moistened. Next, fold in the chocolate chips.
  3. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Then, lightly grease a bread pan and pour the batter inside. Bake the bread for 30 minutes and check. Bake for another 10-15 minutes and keep an eye on the bread so it doesn't over-bake. The bread will be done when a toothpick inserted in the middle of the loaf comes out clean.
