Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Ripe bananas
- 1.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.75 cup Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Butter, melted
- 0.5 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.25 cup Gluten-free oats (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, whisking until well combined.
Pour the melted butter into the banana mixture, stirring continuously until combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Optionally, sprinkle the gluten-free oats on top for added texture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve the cake once it's cooled, enjoying its rich chocolate flavor and moist banana texture.
