Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup avocado oil
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 large pasture-raised, organic eggs room temperature
  • 1 3/4 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup coconut sugar or organic cane sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. sea salt
  • 2 tsp. organic cinnamon
  • 1 cup chocolate baking bar, chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350℉. Line a 9x5" laof pan with unbleached parchment paper or generously oil the pan with coconut oil.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed banana, oil, maple syrup, and eggs. Stir until combined.
  • Add the gluten-free flour, baking soda, baking powder, sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Stir until the batter is smooth. Fold in the pieces of chopped chocolate bar.
  • Pour the batter into the loaf pan. Use your spatula to smooth the batter into the pan.
  • Bake for 45-55 minutes. The top of the loaf should be risen nicely and browned. It should be set when pressed gently or when a cake tester is inserted in the center of the loaf.
  • Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before removing from the loaf pan. Slice the banana bread while it is still warm to get pretty banana bread slices!
  • Store leftover, cooled banana bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the fridge for up to 5 days.
