   *This recipe works well with white, spelt, oat, or Bob's gluten free flour.To make the chocolate banana bread, first preheat your oven to 350 F. Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan. Stir all ingredients until just evenly combined. Spread evenly into the loaf pan. If desired, sprinkle more chocolate chips on top and press down. Bake 45 minutes, then turn off the heat and leave an additional 10 minutes in the closed oven before checking for doneness with a toothpick. Let cool, then very loosely cover or refrigerate overnight before slicing and serving if you can wait, because the taste and texture are even better the next day.View Nutrition Facts
