We have had a lot of gloomy and rainy days recently and i decided what better way to take advantage of being stuck indoors than baking! A bunch of ripen bananas immediately had me thinking this would be the perfect opportunity to make banana bread… but then thought, why not take it one step further? Chocolate chip banana bread? No, we took it even further and made some delectable double chocolate banana bread that is both vegan and gluten free! Simple, mouthwatering and very little time to prep and bake. Another delicious option is mid-day squares.

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line loaf pan with parchment paper or greased foil. Set aside.
  2. Peel bananas and add to a large mixing bowl. Using a sturdy whisk or fork, mash bananas until smooth. Mix in the coconut oil, maple syrup, sugar, flax egg and vanilla. Mix ingredients until well incorporated.
  3. Add Bob’s Red Mill flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Mix together until just incorporated, making sure no flour patches remain. Gently fold in chocolate chips.
  4. Pour batter evenly into prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle with some chocolate chips.
  5. Bake for 35-45 minutes. Test for doneness by sticking a toothpick into the center of the loaf. The toothpick will come out clean when loaf is done.
