GG's Favorite Banana Bread

Who doesn't love a good banana bread?!?

Gianna and I love banana bread. I have tried out so many recipes in the past, but I always seem to go back to this one! I probably make this once a week. It is an easy snack or quick breakfast on the go. I love to enjoy mine with a nice cup of chai tea!

We call this one GG's Favorite Banana Bread because that is how Gianna wrote it down in my recipe book. She loves it that much! It is an easy way to use up those ripe bananas on your counter. Freeze it, give it as a gift, or share it with friends! You can't go wrong with this recipe.

This is a little different than a classic banana bread because this one is made with coconut sugar and almond flour. These might not be things you typically have in your pantry, but I think they are worth the purchase. You can easily make it gluten free by using flour alternatives in place of the all purpose flour that this recipe also calls for. It is also easy to add in walnuts if you would like. I suggest a half cup of walnuts to match the chocolate chips.

I hope you enjoy this recipe. Let me know if you try it out!
