Gluten Free Chocolate Banana Bread

This Gluten Free Chocolate Banana Bread is the perfect thing to make if you are overloaded with ripe bananas. It’s slightly sweet, super soft, heavy on the chocolate, and just so tasty. With the addition of the marshmallow and coconut topping ... you won't be able to stop eating it! Any sort of banana bread will never be out of style and this is one of my best recipes yet!

  • In a medium bowl cream the butter and sugar with a mixer, on medium/high for about 1 minute until lighter in colour and well combined.
  • Add the eggs to the butter and sugar and beat them for about 30 seconds, then beat in the flax seed and psyllium husk just until there are no lumps.
  • Add the mashed bananas and beat for another 30 seconds until everything is mixed and somewhat smooth looking.
  • In a small bowl add the baking soda, stir in the hot milk, then add it to the banana mixture.
