Gluten 'Free'dom Chocolate-Banana Bread


This bread is delicious. I am a banana bread maniac and this bread is a nice alternative for our gluten-free friends! If you want to make it a little more decadent throw in 1/4 cup of peanut butter chips/peanut butter and 1/4 cup cherry cola...consider it 'Elvis Style'. Enjoy!




Ingredients!

Makes: one loaf

2 cups Gluten free pastry flour
1/2 cup sugar
3 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 egg (or Ener-G egg replacement if you would like to keep it Vegan)
2/4 cup soy milk
1/4 cup applesauce (you can use 1/3 cup vegetable oil instead-applesauce cuts calories)
1 1/2 cups mashed, ripe bananas
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
3/4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips


Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees.

Sift flour, sugar, powder, soda, and salt together in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, beat together the egg, milk, applesauce, walnuts, and bananas. Add liquid to dry ingredients and beat for about 30 seconds (batter will still be lumpy-this is good). Fold in the chocolate chips. Pour mixture into a greased (nonfat cooking spray!) coated loaf pan.

The loaf will need to cook for about 45-50 minutes. Definitely let this cool for awhile before you slice it!

Enjoy:)
