Moist Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Moist Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Banana Bread.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C). While it warms up, grab a loaf pan and give it a good greasing to ensure your banana bread slides out easily later on.

2. Step 2

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the white sugar and applesauce. Use an electric mixer to beat them together until they’re well blended. Next, add in the pureed bananas, Greek yogurt, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until everything is beautifully combined and smooth.

3. Step 3

   In another bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, and baking soda. This will be your dry mixture. Gradually add this to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; we want a tender loaf!

4. Step 4

   Now, it’s time for the fun part! Fold in the miniature chocolate chips and, if you’re feeling nutty, the chopped walnuts. This adds a lovely crunch and flavor to your bread.

5. Step 5

   Spoon the batter into your prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly. Pop it into the preheated oven and bake for about 45 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The aroma wafting through your kitchen will be irresistible!

6. Step 6

   Once baked, let the banana bread cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy a slice warm or at room temperature, and savor the delightful combination of chocolate and banana!
