Gluten Free Banana Bread with Chocolate Chips
Prep time: 10 mins
Cook time: 1 hour
Total time: 1 hour 10 mins
Ingredients
  • 3 Large or 4 small ripe bananas (the riper the better)
  • ¼ Cup coconut or olive oil
  • ¼ Cup canned coconut milk (not lite)
  • 1 Cup packed unrefined sugar (sucanat, coconut sugar)
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1½ Cups gluten-free flour blend or gluten-free baking mix (I used ½ cup each coconut, brown rice, and sorghum flours)
  • 2 Tbs arrowroot starch
  • 2½ teaspoons aluminum-free baking powder
  • 1 tsp aluminum-free baking soda
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp cardamom
  • ¼ tsp nutmeg
  • ½ tsp xantham gum
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ Cup vegan chocolate chips
  • ½ Cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional; we soak ours first)
Instructions
  1. Combine the wet ingredients a mixing bowl.
  2. Combine the dry ingredients in another bowl, then mix into the banana mixture and stir until smooth.
  3. Add in the chocolate chips and nuts and stir by hand to combine.
  4. Lightly oil the bottom of a standard bread loaf pan and dust with rice or corn flour.
  5. Pour the batter into the loaf pan and bake in the center of the oven for about one hour – until a toothpick or knife inserted into the center emerges clean.
  6. Cool the loaf on a wire rack. We can never wait until it's fully cooled, but it will slice more cleanly once it has.
  7. Slice and enjoy. We slice the entire loaf, wrap remaining pieces in foil and freeze for later.
