Guilt and Gluten Free Banana Bread with Dark Chocolate Chips

Hello all!

 So I have gotten my bake on and always wanted to try a gluten free version of banana bread. Now as I am a total chocolate addict I simply HAD to add the choc but it is easily removed. If you use dairy free chocolate the recipe becomes vegan as well. Its a win - win recipe. This is perfect for freezing as well and just wrapped in baking parchment and stuck in the toaster for when you have people over for tea! Or just eat the whole thing... although I would not recommend that to anyone. 

Happy Banana Bread Baking!

Ingredients

2 Cups Gluten Free Flour

2 Tsp Baking Powder

2 Tsp Baking Soda

1 Tsp salt

1 Tsp Xantham Gum (unless you are using all purpose flour which already contains the gum)

3 Tsp Cinnamon

1/2 C Rapeseed Oil / Coconut Oil

2/3 C Agave Nectar/ Maple Syrup

2/3 C Almond Milk

1 Tsp Vanilla Extract

3 Ripe & Mashed Bananas

1/2 C Walnuts

2 C Dark Chocolate Chips (use dairy free if you can)

Method

Preheat the oven to 165 c. Lightly coat a loaf tin with oil. I chose Coconut Oil. Whisk all the dry ingredients together. Then carefully add the oil, agave, almond milk & vanilla to the mixture. Use a spatula to fold in the mashed bananas and chocolate chips and walnuts. Make sure they are combined well and pour over to the loaf tin. Bake in middle of oven for 35 mins. Check that it is well done by putting a toothpick in it and if it comes out clean its done. 

Enjoy!
