this is a must. and totally feel free to swap the pistachios with anything you have lying around! whether it's cashews, pretzels, popcorn - any salty compliment that will bring the perfect texture and balance
ingredients
1/2 cup apple sauce, unsweetened
3/4 cup milk,
2 tbsp nut butter, I recommend Nuttzo

1/2 cup cacao powder, recommend Navitas unsweetened organic

1/4 cup corn starch (can also use Arrowroot flour)
2,5 tsp baking powder
Handful of chocolate chips - some to mix in some to melt on top! Recommend Hu Chocolate
process
- preheat oven to 350, and line a standard loaf pan w/ parch paper and/or avocado oil spray.
- make the oat flour by blending 1/3 cup + 2 tbs of Gluten-Free rolled oats in a blender. drop into a medium bowl.
- next, pulse the pistachios until ground / blended :) drop them in the same bowl as the oat flour, along with all other dry ingredients (except chocolate chips). whisk together.
- pour the apple sauce, nut milk, and nut butter into the dry ingredients. stir well!! fold in chocolate chips.
- pour batter into loaf pan. bake for 45-47 mins.
- top with melted @lakanto chocolate chips & more pistachios!! I also tossed on some cocoa nibs too for added texture!!
