Ingredients
- 1 cup mashed banana (2-3 large bananas)
- ⅓ cup sugar, coconut sugar or erythritol
- ¾ cup gluten free plain flour
- ½ tsp baking soda or bi-carb soda
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon

- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup + 2 tbsps chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180°C or 350°F
- Line a slice tin with baking paper. I used a rectangular tin with dimensions 27.5 cm x 17.5 cm x 3.5 cm
- Mash the bananas in a mixing bowl. Add your choice of sugar/sweetener, Nuttelex, milk, egg, and vanilla until well mixed.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, bi-carb soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined - no more! Then fold in the ⅓ cup of choc chips
- Scrape the batter into the slice tin and sprinkle the remaining choc chips on top.
- Bake for 18 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
- Let it cool before cutting it! Enjoy!!
Notes
This recipe has been designed to be gluten and dairy free.
If you aren't following a gluten free diet, you could easily substitute normal plain flour in this recipe.
Likewise, if you aren't following a dairy free diet, you could use normal butter instead of Nuttetex. Nuttelex is a dairy free margarine that can be found in all Australian supermarkets. If you weren't concerned about including dairy free chocolate, you could include any chocolate you like!
If you wanted to make this recipe sugar free, you could substitute the sugar for coconut sugar - which isn't a refined sugar. Or alternatively for erythritol. I always use this in the same quantity as I would sugar to avoid a sickly sweet aftertaste however some prefer to add a little more erythritol.
There are some online stores that stock dairy free and sugar free chocolate for baking. I have just ordered these Dark Choc chips from iherb which I will try out as soon as they arrive!
