Gluten free, vegan Banana Chocolate Chip Bread

  Banana bread is an easy, simple bread to put together. It takes 15 minutes to put this together, and it takes about that time in my house for it to be all gone.

Easy homemade Banana bread is not only the best way to use up over-ripe bananas, but it’s possibly the best slice to go with your morning coffee or tea. This banana bread is fluffy and moist and smells amazing while baking! Every bite is deliciously divine !!

Gluten-free flours are tricky to work with, but I am in love with gfJules All Purpose Gluten Free Flour and bobs mill oat flour, which is excellent for this recipe. Now back to this super moist banana bread–I tossed in some chocolate chips to jazz things up. After, what’s better than bananas and chocolate chips?

When baking with bananas, always go for ripe bananas because their sugar content is more concentrated. Chocolate chips or walnuts are your choices; I alternate between the two in my kitchen.

How to Make a Flax Egg - One egg equals one tablespoon of flax meal plus three tablespoons of water) stirring as you go. Refrigerate the flax egg for a minimum of 15 minutes. It helps if you make the eggs at the start of a recipe.
