Dairy Free / Gluten Free Banana Bread

Dairy Free / Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

    My stomach is capable of digesting both gluten and dairy and I eat plenty of both, so the fact that I made this, liked it, and am recommending it to you should mean something, right?

    I don't know. But regardless of any food allergies or lack there of, if you like banana bread, you'll love this.

Ingredients:

• 4 very ripe bananas
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 1/4 cups of gf flour (or ap flour, if that's how you roll)
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
• 1/4 cup coconut milk
• 1 cup dairy free chocolate chip (plus extra for sprinkling on top as soon as it comes out of the oven)

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Mash bananas.
3. Mix in the eggs.
4. Add the rest of the ingredients, saving the chocolate chips for last.
5. Spray a loaf pan very generously (or two if your pans are ridiculously small like mine).
6. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean when poked into the center.

Super easy, no?
