Gluten Free Chocolate Banana Bread Swaps, Tips + Tricks
- Use Paleo Flour: Stock up on this paleo flour blend if you are gluten free and wanting to incorporate more grain free baking into your life. It's a wonderful 1:1 substitute for gluten free flour in most recipes. This recipe will work with almond flour as well if you do not have the paleo flour, however I do think it turns out better and more cake-like using the paleo flour.
- Refrigerate to Store: Gluten free chocolate banana bread can be stored in the fridge up to one week and maintain freshness.
- Make it Vegan: This recipe works with 2 flax eggs in place of the eggs if you are histamine intolerant or following a vegan diet.
- Add Garnish: I love adding an additional banana sliced lengthwise to the top of this banana bread as a garnish. It just kicks things up a notch and makes for a beautiful presentation!
