    This is the tastiest ever Gluten Free Chocolate Banana Bread and It is also dairy free and refined sugar free. It is super easy to make and you wouldn't even guess it was gluten free.

    Freshly cooked gluten free chocolate banana bread with a few slices cut.

    I am a fan of banana bread and have shared a few recipes with you so far, including my gluten free banana and macadamia bread, low carb banana and blueberry bread and banana bread muffins.

    But I have never tried any other flavours, until now!!

    WHY YOU WILL LOVE THIS RECIPE

    Gluten & Dairy Free - suitable for people with gluten and dairy/lactose intolerances.

    Easy to Make - this recipe involves a couple of simple steps and will be ready in less than 1 hour.

    Healthy wholefood ingredients - which are easy to find at any supermarket, health store, food markets or on-line store

    INGREDIENTS

    • Ripe bananas - the riper the better
    • Eggs
    • Coconut oil
    • Maple syrup
    • Almond meal
    • Raw cacao powder
    • Chocolate chips (vegan or dairy free preferably, but use whichever ones suit your dietary needs)
    • Plus a few extra things like baking powder, vanilla extract and cinnamon powder

    HOW TO MAKE

    So this recipe is really easy to make.

    Basically, you mix together your dry ingredients, then you add your wet ingredients and mix thoroughly. Then fold through the choc chip, pour into a lined loaf pan and bake!!

    SO EASY!!

    Just make sure you use really ripe bananas as it won't taste nearly as good using non-ripe bananas!

    I used vegan dark chocolate chips that I purchased from Newstead Organics! However, you can use any dairy free choc chips!

    I baked my chocolate banana bread using a greased and lined loaf pan, but you can also use a silicon loaf pan!

    This is the tastiest ever gluten free chocolate banana bread!!! It is also dairy and refined sugar free. It is super easy to make and you wouldn't even guess it was gluten free.
