I find banana bread to be so very versatile in the sense that it can be consumed for breakfast, snack, and/or dessert.
 
Let’s bake a loaf!

How to Make Double Chocolate Banana Bread:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a 9” x 5” loaf pan with parchment paper.

Mash the bananas in a mixing bowl until they reach desired consistency. I like leaving mine slightly chunky so that as the bread bakes, I get little pockets of banana goodness.

Whisk in the eggs, vanilla extract and cooled melted butter until well-combined.

In a separate bowl, Stir together the gluten-free flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, sea salt, coconut sugar, and instant coffee until combined.

Pour the dry mixture into the mixing bowl with the wet mixture and stir until the batter is incorporated.

Pour the batter into the parchment-lined loaf pan and sprinkle with additional chocolate chips.

Bake on the center rack of the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bread has risen substantially. Turn off the oven and allow it to sit in the warm oven an additional 5 to 10 minutes.

Seems that there isn't near enough wet ingredients, it's no where near pouring consistency. It's in the oven after adding about a 1/2 cup of milk. We'll see!

Hi Melanie! Did you measure your mashed bananas before incorporating them into the batter? The amount of mashed will yield a different result depending on the size of the bananas, so I always measure the mash to be sure the consistency is right. Also, what brand of gluten-free flour are you using? Various brands have varying absorbencies. Let me know :)

I'm not a fan of gluten-free flour. Can I use almond flour?
