Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups Gluten -free All-purpose Flour blend (containing xanthan gum)
  • 0.5 cup Unsweetened Dutch-process Cocoa Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 0.5 teaspoon Sea Salt
  • 1.5 cups Overripe Bananas, mashed (approx. 3-4 medium bananas)
  • 2 large Eggs , room temperature
  • 0.5 cup Full -fat Greek Yogurt or Sour Cream
  • 0.5 cup Avocado Oil or melted Coconut Oil
  • 0.75 cup Light Brown Sugar, packed
  • 1.5 teaspoons Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 1 cup Semi -sweet Chocolate Chips, divided

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan and line with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the long sides for easy removal.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, sift together the gluten-free flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and sea salt. Whisk to ensure even distribution of leavening agents.
  • In a separate large bowl, whisk the mashed bananas, eggs, Greek yogurt, oil, light brown sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is fully emulsified and smooth.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Use a rubber spatula to fold the ingredients together until no dry streaks of flour remain, being careful not to over-incorporate air.
  • Fold in 0.75 cup of the semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  • Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Sprinkle the remaining 0.25 cup of chocolate chips evenly over the surface.
  • Bake for 50 to 60 minutes. Test for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs, but no wet batter.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and allow the bread to cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Use the parchment overhang to lift the loaf and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
