Chocolate Chunk Paleo Banana Bread

Choc Chip Paleo Banana Bread | Blender banana bread that is gluten free, healthy and perfect!

I made this paleo banana bread loaf a while back when some friends came over for brunch, you might have seen it on Instagram already, but really wanted to share it here too as it just came out with the perfect ratio of fluffy to denseness expected in a banana bread.

It was a serious hit, and by the end of the day there was no crumb left, bittersweet really as I was really wanted to have the leftovers the next day but it was great that everyone loved it!

This lil’ loaf is

  • gluten and grain free, if that’s your jam
  • naturally sweetened with banana and dates
  • dairy free for all my dairy-less warriors
  • high in fibre to keep your tummy happy!
  • a paleo banana bread that you can make for even your fussiest of friends
