This chocolate chip banana bread really attracted my attention. And it is not easy regarding banana bread, as we have our favorite one (unfortunately it was one of the ones lost by my last hosting service and I promise to post it again soon).
This chocolate chip banana bread recipe captured me because…it has no flour…no eggs…no dairy! And it is absurdly good! It is tasty, inviting, fulfilling while being gluten free and vegan.
When I like something, I stick to it. And my son does the same. Result? I have prepared this chocolate chip banana bread recipe about 4 times during the last month :-).
It is absolutely easy, you just have to put all ingredients into your food processor and then pour the mixture into a plum cake baking pan. That’s all!
I found this delicious recipe on Chocolate Covered Katie great blog, from where I have already took inspiration for other recipes as well.
