What’s better on a chilly day than a warm loaf of banana bread?

A warm loaf of gluten free banana bread loaded with chocolate chunks.

It’s the perfect treat to enjoy on a cold afternoon. Sit down with a cup of tea, and enjoy this melty, chocolatey, delicious gluten free banana bread.

This loaf has a great texture and flavor. I love to store over ripe bananas in the freezer and then use them to bake banana bread or banana cake.

What type of flour is best for making gluten free banana bread?

I like to use Namaste Perfect Flour Blend – it works well every time, and produces a great loaf that holds its shape and slices really well. If you have a brand of gluten free flour that you prefer, you are welcome to try that! It may work just fine. If you try a grain free flour, like almond or coconut, the loaf will be denser, and it will probably not rise as high.

Can this recipe for banana bread be made without eggs?

Yes, if you wish to make this loaf egg free, you can make two flax seed egg replacers and add them to the batter instead of regular eggs.

I have made this recipe with actual eggs and with flax eggs, and it does work well both ways!

You can also use this batter to make muffins if you prefer! Just keep an eye on them while baking. They will probably take about 21-24 minutes or so to bake.

Tip: Let this loaf cool before attempting to slice it. Gluten free baked goods can be more fragile than regular baked goods. If you try to slice into it when it’s too hot, you will have messy slices that crumble.
