vegan chocolate pistachio bread

nuts and chocolate (i.e.: my two absolute favorite things) blended together into one healthy, deeeeelectable loaf?! that i can consume 18 slices of?! and lick the bowl?! and the spoon?! yessir. sign me up.

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

3/4 cup nut milk

2 tbsp nut butter, I reco Lakanto's Suntella (use code "KTLEO" for discount)

1/4 cup ground pistachios

1/4 cup @Lakanto 1:1 monk fruit sweetener (use code "KTLEO" for discount)

1/2 cup cacao powder

1/3 cup oat flour

1/4 cup chocolate protein powder, I reco Gainful chocolate (use link here for 50% discount)

1/4 cup corn starch

2,5 tsp baking powder

Handful of Lakanto Monk Fruit chocolate chips (use code "KTLEO" for discount)

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!!
