I love that as soon as you notice your bananas are over ripening, it’s time to make some banana bread. I also loved making lactation banana bread postpartum to help with milk production! It’s just so wholesome and healthy.
Gluten-Free Chocolate Banana Bread
You won’t need a fancy blender or mixer to combine the ingredients here. Simply use a whisk for the wet ingredients, and a spoon to combine the dry ingredients.
That makes this recipe easy as pie and great for getting the kids involved to help pour and mix the ingredients together.
You’ll also need a 4×8 loaf pan, greased, for a perfectly high risen loaf of bread that won’t stick. I recommend using coconut oil cooking spray, or regular parchment paper to allow for easy removal.
