Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium Ripe bananas
- 1.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Chocolate chips (gluten-free)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, mash the bananas with a fork until smooth. Set aside.
In a separate large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer.
Add the eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
Mix in the mashed bananas until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to over-mix.
Fold in the gluten-free chocolate chips using a spatula or spoon.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from oven and allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
