This one is it. It tastes like the real deal, just without the gluten and refined sugar. Give it a try - it won't disappoint.

All of my baking recipes are gluten free (bc gluten has plagued my life) and refined sugar free. I use gluten free paleo flour and coconut sugar but these are both a 1:1 ratio with regular flour and sugar, so you can sub if you’re not into the whole “healthy baking” thing – but trust me on the coconut sugar. It’s nutty and toasty and adds a delicious flavor to baked goods.

  • 2 cups gluten free flour*
  • 3-4 very ripe bananas mashed (1 1/2 cups), reserve half of banana for top (unmashed)
  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar
  • 1/2 cup organic grass fed butter (1 stick), softened

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

*My favorite gluten free flour is Bob’s Red Mill paleo or my own recipe here

INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan
  2. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together butter and sugar until smooth. Stir in eggs, nut milk, vanilla, and mashed bananas until well blended. Stir banana mixture and chocolate chips into flour mixture; fold in just to combine. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan.
  3. Top with thin slices of bananas (optional)
  4. Bake in preheated oven for 55-65 minutes, until a toothpick in center of the loaf comes out clean. Let bread cool in pan for at least 15 minutes, then remove from pan to a wire rack and cool another 30-45 minutes
