Usually I’m a cookie or brownie person for my go-to desserts and/or sweets, but lately I had been craving some delicious bread.
Of course I had a few bananas that were on the verge of being too ripe, so what better time then to make some banana bread. Throw in chocolate chips of course, because, well, chocolate.
This recipe is quick + easy and involves only a few ingredients! It’s gluten free, dairy free + refined sugar free. I use almond flour as the base which makes it slightly denser. It’s naturally sweetened by the bananas, but I also added a little maple syrup to make it slightly sweeter, although this is optional! I [of course] add chocolate chips to the batter, but feel free to add in whatever else you’d like – nuts, dried fruits, etc!

I hope you enjoy it!
