Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Banana Bread
What better way to send a lazy Sunday than baking a fresh loaf of banana bread, cozying up on the couch, and enjoying time at home. This is my IDEAL Sunday, especially when combined with that crisp fall weather. Although it’s only August and I’m currently looking out the window at blue skies, I know fall is going to be here before we know it and that is truly my favorite baking season.
Growing up, my mom always had ripe bananas in the house and there was never a bad day to bake banana bread. This recipe has been a family classic for as long as I can remember and now, I’ve made a few adjustments to accommodate gluten-free and dairy-free options, as well as cut out refined sugar (don’t tell my mom!).
I hope you enjoy this classic Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Banana Bread as much as we do!
