by

Moist, sweet, and loaded with melty chocolate chips, this gluten-free banana bread is the ultimate comfort treat! Made with ripe bananas and wholesome ingredients, it’s perfect for breakfast, snacks, or dessert—with zero gluten but 100% flavor.

Ingredients:

  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1/3 cup melted coconut oil (or butter)

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (or coconut sugar)

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1 ½ cups gluten-free all-purpose flour (with xanthan gum)

  • 1 tsp baking soda

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional)

  • 3/4 cup chocolate chips (plus more for topping)

  • Instructions:

    1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper.

    2. Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together mashed bananas, eggs, melted coconut oil, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.

    3. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the gluten-free flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.

    4. Mix together: Add dry ingredients into the wet mixture and stir until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips.

    5. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top. Bake for 50–60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

    6. Cool and enjoy: Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Slice and enjoy warm or at room temp!

    7. Tips:

      • Use super ripe bananas for maximum flavor and moisture.

      • Make it dairy-free by using dairy-free chocolate chips and coconut oil.

      • Store leftovers wrapped at room temp for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
