Frequently Asked Questions

What size loaf pan should I use for banana bread?

I recommend an 8x4 loaf pan. I find that the bread rises so well in this size pan. I linked mine HERE.

Can I substitute the flours in this recipe?

I do not recommend substituting any other flours in this recipe. For optimal results, stick to the recipe as written.

How to measure flour correctly?

Spoon the flour into the measuring cup. Then, level off the top of the cup with a knife. Do not place the measuring cup into the bag and scoop. You could end up with more flour than needed.

How to store Gluten Free Chocolate Banana Bread with Paleo Chocolate Frosting?

Once the banana bread is frosted, you can store it in the fridge for about 3-4 days. If you do not frost the banana bread, you can store it on the counter for 2-3 days. Store the extra frosting in the fridge.

Ingredients
  

Ingredients in Gluten Free Chocolate Banana Bread

  • 1 cup mashed spotty-brown bananas (about 2 ½ bananas)
  • 3 eggs
  • ¼ cup avocado oil
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 cups almond flour
  • ½ cup tapioca flour
  • 2 tablespoons coconut flour
  • ½ cup cacao powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ⅓ cup dark chocolate chips

Ingredients in Paleo Chocolate Frosting

  • 5.4 ounce can unsweetened coconut cream
  • ½ cup cacao powder
  • 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together banana, eggs, avocado oil, pure maple syrup and apple cider vinegar.
  • Then, add in almond flour, tapioca flour, coconut flour, cacao powder, baking soda, baking powder and dark chocolate chips. Mix with a rubber spatula until combined.
  • Pour the batter into a greased 8x4 loaf pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for about 37-42 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Mine was perfect at 40 minutes.
  • As the banana bread is baking, make the frosting.
  • Whisk together the coconut cream, cacao powder and pure maple syrup until creamy. Make sure there are no lumps. Let the frosting sit in the fridge for about an hour to thicken slightly.
  • Once the bread has baked, remove the pan from the oven and place it on top of a cooling rack. Allow the bread to cool completely, otherwise the frosting will melt when you spread it on top.
  • When the banana bread is cool, remove it from the pan. Frost the banana bread and slice. I added natural sprinkles to make it more "birthday-like."
  • This recipe makes extra frosting in case you want to spread it on top of your individual slice. I can almost guarantee you will do this. Enjoy!
