Banana bread is one of those staple recipes that everyone should have in their back pocket! I love adding chocolate chips and walnuts to mine 🙂 The rich dark chocolate mixed with the fruity banana and crunchy walnuts makes for a truly satisfying flavor profile. The darker the bananas, the sweeter the bread. As bananas start to brown, their natural sugars become more concentrated, resulting in beautiful notes of honey and vanilla.

Bananas are high in magnesium + potassium. Just one medium-sized banana provides about 13% of your daily recommended manganese. Manganese helps your body make collagen + protects your cells against free radical damage. Potassium helps your body maintain a healthy heart and blood pressure.

Sometimes I add unsweetened raisins to my banana bread. You can substitute the chocolate chips for raisins in the recipe if you want more of a breakfast feel to your loaf. Either way you really can’t go wrong with this flavorful gluten-free, low sugar banana bread! I hope you enjoy it!
