Gluten Free Vegan Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

This Chocolate Chip Banana Bread is not only a gluten free and vegan recipe, but it requires just one bowl! Perfectly fluffy with tons of banana flavor.

Oh friends, hold onto your horses for this one! This Gluten Free Vegan Chocolate Chip Banana Bread is absolutely packed to the brim with banana flavor, has a soft and fluffy texture, and is studded with melty chocolate chips.

It tastes just like the best banana bread that my mom used to make, but, miracle of miracles, it is both gluten free and vegan.

It took me about 10 tries before I nailed this Chocolate Chip Banana Bread recipe on its head. Some of the loaves were too try, some were nearly completely raw, and some had a very questionable sandy texture. I nearly threw in the kitchen towel several times. But, this Chocolate Chip Banana Bread loaf was worth each and every failure.

This has to be my best baking recipe of all time.

Not only is this Gluten Free Vegan Chocolate Chip Banana Bread a dream to eat, it is a dream to bake too! All you need are 9 ingredients and one bowl.

And my one tip to make the best banana bread around town: use the oldest bananas you possibly can. You know the nearly all black ones? Those are the key.

Confession time: I like undercooked Chocolate Chip Banana Bread.

You know, where the end slices are all the way cooked through, but the middle slices are a little gooey in the center. It is like a banana bread batter and banana bread combo all in one. And I used to fight anyone and everyone in our house for these coveted slices. Any other gooey center lovers out there??

If your team Slightly Undercooked Chocolate Chip Banana Bread, then bake this bread for 50 minutes.

Members of the Fully Cooked Banana Bread team, bake for 60 minutes and you will get the most perfect fluffy slices all the way through the loaf.

Either way you cook it and slice it, this Chocolate Chip Banana Bread is truly  irresistible.
