Step 1

Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper or grease well with coconut oil or coconut oil spray.

Step 2

Place oats in your food processor or blender and pulse until you have a fine flour.  Measure and be sure you have two cups of flour.

Step 3

In a large bowl, whisk the honey, vanilla, and pumpkin together together. Add the eggs and beat well, then whisk in the mashed bananas and almond milk.

Step 4

In a smaller bowl, mix baking soda, salt, pumpkin spice, cinnamon, and whisk to blend. Then fold in the flour, mixing just until the batter is combined.

Step 5

Gently fold in the chocolate chips if you are using them.

Step 6

Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the bread cool in the loaf pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool for 20 minutes before slicing.
