Ingredients

  • 4 ripe bananas mashed (about 1.5 cups)
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup avocado oil or melted butter
  • 2 Tbsp pure maple syrup or brown sugar
  • 1 ⅔ cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries + more for sprinkling on top
  • ⅔ cup chocolate chips optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a 9" x 5" loaf pan with parchment paper.
  2. Mash the bananas in a mixing bowl with a fork until creamy. Mix in the eggs, avocado oil, and pure maple syrup until creamy.
  3. Add the dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, baking powder, sea salt and cinnamon) and stir well until the dough is nice and combined.
  4. Toss the blueberries in 1 teaspoon of gluten-free flour in a bowl before adding them to batter. Carefully stir in the blueberries until distributed into the batter.
  5. Transfer the banana bread batter to the parchment-lined loaf pan. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, until the bread tests clean. I bake mine for 50 minutes, turn off the oven and allow the bread to sit in the hot oven for another 10 to 15 minutes.
  6. Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing and serving. I like heating up a slice with a pat of butter and a drizzle of honey ;)
