The Best Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Recipe

Banana bread tastes best when store at room temperature on the counter. Cover it with plastic wrap and store on a plate. Or store it in an airtight container. It will keep for up to 4 days on the counter.

We do not recommend storing the bread in a refrigerator as the circulation of cool air removes moisture and can dry out the bread.

Freeze the entire loaf or slices of fresh bread. To freeze the whole loaf, wrap the bread in one layer of plastic wrap, then one layer of foil. To freeze slices, wrap each slice individually in plastic wrap and then place in a freezer bag. Freeze the bread for up to 3 months.

I like a slice of banana bread to snack on throughout the day, pop into Greyson's school lunch box, eat it with breakfast sometimes, grab a slice for a midnight snack. I mean, who doesn't love banana bread? It's so sweet, easy to make, and just really tasty!

Emphasis on the moist, even though a ton of people hate that word. But how else do you describe something so good? It's so soft and delicious that it just seems wrong to even call it bread.

And just like my famous pumpkin bread, where my husband's coworkers would snatch up whole loaves for themselves, this banana bread is known to disappear just as quickly!

One Bowl Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

So don't throw out those super brown bananas, you're about to make the most heavenly banana bread ever, in just one bowl with one spatula/wooden spoon.

Making banana bread is much easier than most people would believe. It's all done in one bowl with really simple ingredients, and the results are perfect loaves every time. Here are some tips on ensuring you make phenomenal banana bread:

To ensure you have seriously moist banana bread, you need really overripe bananas. The ones that the kids look at and won't eat because they're not super yellow anymore (*cue eye roll*) but you know they're still edible and you don't want to waste them? Use those. They're super sweet and add a ton of moisture to anything you add them to, so they're perfect for banana bread.

Pro tip: if you end up only having 2 bananas to use, replace the missing banana with applesauce! Applesauce will not only give the moisture and sweetness in lieu of the missing banana but can be used in place of some of the butter too if you are low on butter!

For this recipe, all you need is one bowl, a hand mixer or whisk, and a wooden spoon or a spatula. Three tools that everyone has in the kitchen, right? The hand mixer is needed to cream the butter and brown sugar together.

Creaming the butter and sugar together makes the crumb of the banana bread light and fluffy, so you won't have to worry about it being dense and heavy. The brown sugar also adds a deeper flavor than granulated sugar, since it has molasses in it, makes the bread softer, and it adds more moisture. We want this banana bread deeply moisturized, y'all.

After that, you need a 9x5 loaf pan to bake in. I don't suggest a glass or dark metal pan, because they tend to make the sugars caramelize faster in the oven and that can cause them to burn while the bread bakes. I really like light metal or oven-safe ceramic loaf pans for this reason.

To make the bread: Cream the butter and sugar well, for about three to five minutes, then mash the bananas (you can make them as smooth or as chunky as you like), add those and the egg in, then mix in the dry ingredients well. Simple, right?

Then the best part: the chocolate chips. I used mini chocolate chips because they disperse so well and you get perfect little bits of chocolate literally all around the banana bread.

I went a little crazy with the chocolate chips in the recipe, there's over an entire cup with a nice handful that goes on top of the batter before baking. If you're not as much of a chocolate lover as I am, you can use maybe ¾ cup of chocolate chips.

Bake for just under an hour, I did 55 minutes. It's hard to do the toothpick/cake tester trick since the chocolate and chunkier bits of banana are ingredients that will stay wet but as long as there is no wet batter and crumbs on your tester, it's ready to pull from the oven.

Banana bread is a great blank canvas for add-ins. Besides chocolate chips, you can add cocoa powder to make chocolate banana bread.

Banana bread, using super ripe/overripe bananas, is a really moist baked good. Keeping it out on the counter can cause it to grow mold, so the best way to keep it is wrapped well with plastic wrap or foil and keeping it in the fridge. In fact, it'll get even better each day. Store it in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Banana bread freezes fantastically! Once the banana bread has cooled completely, wrap the loaf in plastic wrap well and in a layer of foil. It keeps in the freezer for up to 3 months.
