I have the biggest sweet tooth and I am always looking for a treat in the afternoons. For those of you who follow me regularly on Instagram and on my blog, you know that I typically try to eat clean and healthy. So this sweet tooth tends to be a challenge for me when I want to eat something sweet. With the best chocolate chip banana bread recipe I have taken the traditional recipe and modified it just a little bit with better and cleaner ingredients.
Organic chocolate chips. gluten free flour, coconut sugar, free range eggs, and organic bananas are all combined to create a moist and tasty bread.
My idea for this bread came when I had bananas that were about to go bad and I didnt want them to go to waste. The best thing to make is banana bread when you want to use bananas that are very ripe. I personally don’t love just plain banana bread, so I decided to add chocolate chips to hopefully curb my sweet tooth. To make this bread a little cleaner than the traditional recipe, I used coconut sugar instead of cane sugar. This adds some good flavor and gives the bread some sweetness without making it too sweet. All of the ingredients that i use are organic or non-gmo. This is not required for this recipe, but I choose to use organic because it’s cleaner than other ingredients.
