Notes
- Use ripe bananas, not green bananas.
- Some small chunks of banana are fine! In fact, these small pieces of banana give extra moisture to this bread.
- Use refined coconut oil for a neutral flavor. Unrefined coconut oil has a slight coconut flavor. Melted butter also works well.
- I love King Arthur Flour gluten free 1 to 1 flour or Bob's Red Mill gluten free baking flour for this recipe.
- Top with extra chocolate chips before baking.
- Do not bake too long. The edges should be golden and the middle should look puffed up and mostly set.
- Allow bread to fully cool before slicing into.
- Store covered at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Freeze individual slices for up to 1 month.
