Ingredients

  • 3 large ripe bananas mashed (1.25 cups)

  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
  • 2 cups cassava flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1 Tbsp ground cinnamon
  • ⅔ cup chocolate chips optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line an 8” x 5” loaf pan with parchment paper.

  • Cover the bread pan with foil and bake for 40 minutes on the center rack of the preheated oven (this will keep the top from getting too dark). Remove foil and bake for 10 to 25 more minutes, or until the banana bread is cooked through and the top is golden brown.

  • Allow the bread to cool for 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
  • Serve banana bread with a generous smear of butter and a drizzle of honey or pure maple syrup. Nut butter such as almond butter or peanut butter is great on top of banana bread as well!

Notes

Banana bread is fully cooked when it reaches an internal temperature of 190 to 200 degrees Fahrenheit. To verify the temperature, insert an instant read thermometer into the thickest part of the bread and wait until the numbers stop moving. 
Store leftovers in an airtight container (or zip lock bag) in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Freeze banana bread in a large zip lock bag for up to 3 months.
