Friends, meet your new favorite go-to banana bread recipe.

I am so sorry to do this to you - this Gluten Free Banana Bread with chocolate chips is irresistible. It's impossible for you to stop at just one piece.

I dare you to try it! Especially when it's topped with peanut butter while it's still warm...

It's easily made in one bowl by mashing some ripe bananas and mixing some wet and dry ingredients together. Oh, and the house smells AMAZING while it cooks.

I've doubled this recipe and made two big loaves and I've also made Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins out of this. Pop those babies in the freezer for extra sweet goodness next week.

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

How can I make this Gluten Free Banana Bread dairy free?


You can substitute the melted butter for melted coconut oil or vegetable or canola oil. To melt your coconut oil just put in the microwave for ten second increments and take it out when it is still slightly solid with some melting.


How do I know when this bread is done cooking?


It can be a little tricky but inserting a toothpick into the middle and ensuring it comes out clean should work. If it's not done stick back in the oven for a few extra minutes and then check again. Allow the bread to cool before slicing it.


How do I store my banana bread?


In the unusual case that you have any banana bread left you can wrap it in foil or put it in an airtight container for a few days in the fridge. Warm it up before eating if desired. You can also wrap it in freezer wrap and place it in a ziploc bag to store it in the freezer for up to three months.
