Instructions

Prep Your Pan & Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray or line with parchment paper for easy removal.
Mash & Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a medium bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas until smooth. Add brown sugar and stir to combine. Mix in the eggs (or flax eggs for a vegan option), vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil until everything is well blended.
Whisk the Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, baking soda, sea salt, and cinnamon.
Combine & Fold
Slowly add the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing. Then fold in the chocolate chips.
Bake to Golden Perfection
Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle the top with extra cinnamon if desired. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool, Slice & Serve
Let the banana bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Once fully cooled, slice and enjoy plain or with your favorite nut butter, jam, or coconut yogurt.

Laura's Recipe Tips

Don’t overmix the batter; mix just until combined. Overmixing can make the banana bread dense rather than light and fluffy.
Fold in the chips at the end, and stop as soon as you don’t see dry flour streaks.
