Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 ½ cups mashed banana (roughly 3-4 large bananas), plus 1 additional banana for the top
  • 1 cup packed dark brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 1/4 cups gluten free flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Add-ins

  • 1/2 cup mini dark chocolate chips (plus extra for topping)

Instructions

  1. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, mashed banana, dark brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir everything until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
  2. Add Dry Ingredients: Add the gluten free flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt to the wet mixture. Stir thoroughly until you have a uniform batter without dry pockets.
  3. Prepare Batter: Fold in 1/2 cup of the mini dark chocolate chips into the batter gently to distribute them evenly throughout.
  4. Transfer to Pan: Pour the batter into a prepared 9×5 inch loaf pan. If desired, sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top or press sliced banana pieces onto the surface for garnish and extra flavor.
  5. Bake: Place the loaf pan in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for 60 to 70 minutes. The bread is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the bread to cool slightly in the pan before removing it. Then transfer it onto a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy this moist, chocolatey banana bread!

Notes

  • This banana bread is gluten free, so ensure all ingredients including baking soda and chocolate chips are certified gluten free.
  • For best flavor, use very ripe bananas to enhance sweetness and moisture.
  • You can substitute mini chocolate chips with regular sized chips if mini are not available.
  • Store leftover bread wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
  • Make sure to check doneness with a toothpick to avoid overbaking which can dry out the bread.
