Add in 120 grams of oat flour, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon and mix until you have a smooth batter.
Line a 9 by 5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper, pour in the batter and smooth it out. Break up 30 grams of chocolate and dot the pieces over the top.
For the cinnamon sugar topping, mix together 1 1/2 teaspoons of turbinado sugar and 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon in a small bowl, then sprinkle it evenly over the batter.
Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until you can insert a toothpick and it comes out clean. Allow to cool then enjoy!
Notes
This will last covered in the fridge for 5-7 days. I like to slice it into 8 pieces with a serrated knife and store in the freezer, heating up a bar as I need.
