The Fluffiest Gluten-Free Banana Bread

The Fluffiest Gluten-Free Banana Bread

Long gone are the days of spongy gluten-free snacks that fall apart in your hands.

Say hello to the new and improved fluffy banana bread filled with sweet honey and coconut sugar, making for a perfectly sweet banana bread that will unfold with flavor in your mouth.

To make this banana bread I highly recommend using a gluten-free all-purpose flour that contains xanthan gum and has a mix of brown rice flour and tapioca or arrowroot starch.

These flours will make the banana bread very thick and will add the texture of gluten into the recipe, without actually adding in any wheat flour.

Because let’s be real, we’ve all had a gluten-free treat before, possibly a muffin or a bread that had a texture similar to a kitchen sponge…

I know what you’re thinking…

It’s TRAGIC!

And NO ONE wants to eat something that tastes like that, so opt for a quality gluten-free all-purpose flour, even if it means spending a little more at the grocery store. I suggest using Bob’s Red Mill 1-for-1 baking flour or King Arthur’s all-purpose gluten-free flour.

Additionally, for sweeteners, I recommend using a mix of Honey and coconut sugar as this will yield a naturally sweet banana bread and will complement the sugar from the bananas well.

Feel free to decrease the amount of coconut sugar or honey in the recipe if your bananas are very spotty as you may not need the amount the recipe calls for.

When it comes to the vegan chocolate chips feel free to add more or as much as your heart desires!

I fear I commit a Cardinal sin of using less as I am not much of a fan of chocolate so I tend to not add as much as the average chocolate lover.

  2. Mash the bananas and add them into a large bowl and combine with the wet ingredients
  3. Add all the dry ingredients, except for the chocolate chips into a large bowl and mix until there is no clumps. If the batter is too thin, add more coconut flour, and if it’s to thick add a dash of water or non-dairy milk.
  4. Mix in 2/3 of the chocolate chips and save the rest to sprinkle on top
