Magically Moist Dairy-free & Gluten-free Banana Bread Recipe Wil Fool You by Jan Mostrom

My niece was coming to my home and she has some dietary restrictions, so I asked her for a favorite recipe that I could make. This banana bread recipe meets her "no dairy and gluten" requirements – and it is so good! I made one loaf with chocolate chips and one without, and we all loved it. No one guessed it was gluten-free and dairy-free! But, if you don't want to use gluten-free flour you can substitute all-purpose!

Here is your short and sweet shopping list for this moist banana bread recipe: eggs, ripe bananas, vanilla extract, honey, almond flour, ground cinnamon, salt and baking soda. If you want to add some chocolatey goodness, grab a bag of chocolate chips.

Serve this incredible banana bread as a sweet snack or for dessert. Double the recipe and share with friends and family!

• Nonstick Cooking Spray
• Parchment Paper

Recipe Notes 

• You can use the same amount of all-purpose flour or another 1:1 blend of gluten-free flour.

• Make sure to cool for two hours before slicing. This bread needs that cooling time to solidify and meld together.

• You can use another sweetener if you don't have or like honey.

Here's how to make it: 

1. Line a small loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on each side of the pan and spray the paper with oil or nonstick cooking spray (remember the paper will lay better once the batter is in the pan). Mix together the eggs, bananas, vanilla and honey in a mixing bowl. Blend well.
   
2. In this order add in flour, cinnamon, salt and, finally, baking soda. Blend well.
   
3. If using, add your chocolate chips and blend into batter.
   
4. Transfer batter to the lined pan.
   
   
5. Bake in a preheated 350-degree F oven until firm and a toothpick comes out clean, about 40 to 50 minutes. Take the bread out of the oven and hold the sides of the parchment to lift out of the pan. Place on a cooling rack. Pull the paper away from the sides and let cool for 2 hours. After 2 hours, slice into 12 slices and enjoy!
