Chocolate Chip Banana Bread 

This gluten and dairy free chocolate chip banana bread is such a treat!! It is the perfect way to use your overripe bananas! 🙂 

Ingredients

-1 stick softened dairy free butter (I used Country Crock Plant Butter) 

-1 cup granulated sugar

-2 to 3 overripe bananas 

-2 eggs room temperature 

-2 cups 1-1 gluten free flour (I recommend King Arthur or Bob’s Red Mill brands) 

-1 teaspoon baking soda

-pinch of salt 

-1 teaspoon vanilla 

-1 cup dairy free semi sweet chocolate chips (I like the Enjoy Life brand)

Instructions

-Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. 

-Coat a loaf pan in oil or line with parchment paper. 

-Prepare a stand mixer or bowl and hand mixer. 

-Cream butter and sugar. 

-Add bananas and mix well. 

-Add eggs and mix. 

-Add flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix until just combined. 

-Add vanilla and mix well. 

-Add in chocolate chips and fold in with a spatula. 

-Pour into prepared pan and top with a few more chocolate chips if desired. 

-Let batter rest for about 10 minutes. 

-Bake for about an hour. Check at 45 minutes.

Notes 

-This can be made with regular butter, flour, or chocolate chips if you don’t need it to be gluten or dairy free. 

-You can leave out the chocolate chips, add chopped pecans, or use peanut butter chips instead. It’s versatile so do what you like best. 🙂

-You can sub brown sugar for the granulated white sugar or do a mixture of both to get to your 1 cup. 

-I have used both King Arthur and Bob’s Red Mill 1-1 gluten free flour when making this and they are both great, but I do think the King Arthur brand is a little better. 

-You could put this in muffin tins instead of a loaf pan. Your baking time would be less, so I would recommend checking them at about 20 minutes to see if they are done or if they need longer.
