When most people think of bananas, they expect potassium-rich, right? Yes, bananas are a rich source of potassium, but they are also brimming with other important vitamins and minerals that our bodies need to function at their best.

📖 Recipe
Healthy Chocolate Chip Banana Bread
Equipment
- 1 Loaf Pan
Ingredients
- 3 ripe banana
- 2 eggs (If vegan, swap with flax eggs)
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup coconut oil
- ¼ cup sugar, coconut
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ground
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 ¾ cup all-purpose flour, gluten-free
- ⅛ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips, semi-sweet (Dairy-Free)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Grease a 9 X 5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- Combine the wet ingredients first. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas. Add in the brown sugar and mix until smooth.
- Mix in the 2 eggs or flax eggs if vegan. Mix in the vanilla extract and coconut oil until well combined.
- Combine the dry ingredients. In another mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients bowl and combine until the batter is well combined. Don’t over mix. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into the loaf pan and sprinkle the top with extra cinnamon. Bake until golden brown, which is approximately 50 to 60 minutes, depending on your oven. Check with a toothpick, and if it comes out clean, it is done.
- Allow the banana bread to cool before slicing. Then serve gf banana bread with any nut butter or jam of choice.

💁♀️ Gluten-Free Banana Bread Recipe Tips
*Vegan: Use flax eggs to replace the eggs in the banana bread recipe. Voila, you just created a vegan no eggs banana bread recipe.
❄️ Banana Bread Storage Tips
Store at room temperature for two to four days. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap to protect against excess moisture. You can also transfer to the freezer for up to three months. I suggest you slice the banana bread before freezing, so you can take out a slice when you are in the mood for some delicious banana bread. Simply warm-up for 15 minutes in a 350-degree oven, and top with some delicious nut butter.
🍴 Gluten-Free Banana Bread Variations
You can also opt to make healthy GF banana bread muffins, rather than one loaf of bread.
Note: Please note ‘Tips’ above for suitable substitutions, storage advice, and more!
