Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 c. cassava flour non-GMO
  • 1/2 c. cacao powder organic
  • 1/2 c. coconut sugar organic
  • 1/2 c. powdered collagen Great Lakes
  • 1/2 c. coconut oil (or butter) melted
  • 4 ripe bananas organic
  • 3 large free-range organic eggs
  • 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 tsp. baking powder gluten-free
  • 1 pinch sea salt
  • 1/2 c. chocolate chips Enjoy Life or Lily's Chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°.  Grease four mini loaf pans with coconut oil.

  2. Melt coconut oil in a small saucepan.

  3. In a blender add ripe bananas (peeled and added in pieces), eggs, melted coconut oil and vanilla. Blend.

  4. In a large mixing bowl, add cassava flour, coconut sugar, cacao powder, collagen, baking soda, baking powder, and a pinch of sea salt.  Whisk together.

  5. Pour banana mixture into the mixing bowl with dry ingredients.  Mix by hand or with a hand mixer.  Once mixed, fold in your chocolate chips.

  6. Evenly distribute the batter to four greased loaf pans.  They will be at least 3/4 of the way full.  

  7. Bake at 350° for 32-35 minutes.  Check for doneness by either inserting a toothpick or poking with your finger. (If done, the finger print will bounce back.)  Set to cool on a wire rack for 10-12 minutes.

  8. Once cool enough, remove the loaves from the pans.  Continue cooling on a wire rack.  The bread will be ready to slice once it is cooled.

  9. Store leftover bread in the refrigerator. 

    Note:  Grain Free Chocolate Banana Bread stores nicely in the freezer.  Wrap each loaf in plastic wrap and place in a glass container with a tight lid or a gallon size freezer bag.  The less air exposure the better it will keep.
