Soft, chocolate bread punctuated with dairy-free chocolate chips makes for a sweet breakfast or delicious snack. Moist and chocolaty this quick bread is a must-make that is free of all top eight allergens, gluten free and vegan.
Serves: 8 slices

INGREDIENTS

2 large overripe bananas, mashed until smooth
⅓ cup coconut oil, measured and then melted
¾ cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup vanilla or plain rice milk
1½ cups gluten free flour (I use Cybele Pascal's recipe)
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
¾ tsp xanthan gum (omit if your gluten free flour includes this already)
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup non-dairy chocolate chips

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Grease a 9-by-5-inch nonstick loaf pan with baking spray.
In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat together bananas, oil, sugar, vanilla, and rice milk until smooth.
Turn the stand mixer to low and slowly add: flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt one at a time until it's fully incorporated. Scraping the sides as necessary. Fold in chocolate chips, then pour into prepared pan.
Bake about 45-55 minutes, or until cake has risen and is slightly cracked, and a toothpick comes out clean.
Let cool in pan 10 minutes, then run a knife around the edges to loosen and remove from pan. Transfer to a rack to cool completely.
