Can I make this gluten free as well?

You can! You'll need to substitute the all purpose flour with 240 grams of a 1:1 gluten free all-purpose flour blend. I prefer to use Bob's Red Mill because I think it it the best quality.

Are eggs considered dairy?

No, eggs are a protein they are not dairy.

Can I make this recipe into muffins?

Yes! Make the batter as directed, then line a muffin tin with paper liners, fill the liners 2/3 of the way full and bake at 350F for 16-18 minutes. (or until a toothpick comes out clean)

Can I freeze banana bread?

Yes! This is a great recipe to freeze! Once baked, let it cool completely then cut slices and wrap them individually in plastic wrap. Place the tightly wrapped slices into a freezer safe bag and store in the freezer for up to 3 months.

1/3 cup avocado oil
2/3 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and spray an 8.5x4.5 inch loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray
In a large mixing bowl, add the mashed banana, avocado oil, sugar, eggs, and almond extract. Mix until well combined
Next, pour the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and ground allspice into the wet ingredients and use a rubber spatula to fold them in until there are no traces of flour
Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the batter and gently fold them in
Pour the banana bread batter into your prepared loaf pan and sprinkle more chocolate chips over the top if desired
Place into the oven and bake for 47-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs
Pull the bread out of the oven and let it cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely

Notes

Use overripe bananas- the browner the better!
The almond extract enhances the sweetness of the bananas, but don't add too much
Don't pack your flour into the measuring cup or the banana bread will be dry
Make sure your chocolate chips are dairy free
Take your banana bread out of the oven when there are moist crumbs on the toothpick. Mine baked for exactly 50 minutes
Do not substitute the flour with any alternative flours like almond, oat, or coconut. This recipe WILL NOT WORK
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days
