Ingredients

• 3 large Ripe bananas
• 240 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 30 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 100 grams Granulated sugar
• 50 grams Brown sugar
• 2 large Eggs
• 80 milliliters Vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 100 grams Dark chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease or line a 9x5-inch loaf tin with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth and creamy.

Step 3

Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the bananas. Whisk until fully combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, sift together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just incorporated. Be careful not to over-mix to ensure a tender loaf.

Step 6

Fold in the dark chocolate chips (if using) for extra gooey pockets of chocolate in the loaf.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf tin and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.

Step 9

Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Slice and serve your Gluten Free Choco Banana Loaf as is, or with a dollop of cream or nut butter for added decadence.
