One of my most favorite treats!
One of my favorite treats to make around this time of the year has to be one of my quick bread recipes.
Quick breads are so easy to make, require no rising time and usually, in most cases, can be mixed by hand. How easy is that?
And the reward, oh the reward my friend is this slightly gooey and this deliciously moist banana bread — like you’ve never had before!
A Look Into the Archives
Wow, when I went back to my archives, I was quite surprised with all of the quick bread recipes that I have posted. Here are just a few:
- Cozy Banan Bread Recipe
- Organic Chocolate Zucchini Bread {Paleo, Gluten Free & Grain Free}
- Organic Banana Nut Recipe {Gluten Free, Grain Free & Paleo}
- Organic Gluten Free & Grain Free, Paleo Sandwich Bread
- Incredibly Moist Pumpkin Bread {Gluten Free, Grain Free & Paleo}
Quite a few, don’t you think? And they are super nutritious and good for you…doesn’t get much better than that.
Chocolate Chip Banana Nut Bread
So today I thought I would add one more to the collections. I recently posted my Chocolate Zucchini Bread and we started quite the conversation in the comment section.
With a little encouragement from some of our readers, I was inspired to create a version of this recipe using bananas instead of zucchini. Oh my…can I just tell you how wonderful this bread is?
How about sinking your teeth into a yummy piece of this bread? Mmmmm….so good and super delicious!

This slightly gooey and deliciously moist Chocolate Chip Banana Nut Bread is none like you’ve never had before!
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup almond butter
- 1 1/2 cup smashed bananas (the browner the banana the sweeter it is)
- 3 large eggs
- 3 tbsp grade b maple syrup, or raw honey
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 3/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips (I use Enjoy Life Mini Chocolate Chips)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350ºF.
- In a large mixing bowl add almond butter, bananas, eggs, maple syrup, vanilla and salt. Mix with a wooden spoon or a hand held mixer until well combined.
- Add baking soda and place the vinegar over top of baking soda. It will fizz up. Fold this into the batter. The batter will become lighter in texture.
- Fold in chocolate chips.
- Grease a regular size loaf pan (see link below) and pour the batter into it.
- Top with a small handful of mini chocolate chips and bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool and serve. Store in refrigerator.

Have You Seen My New Cookbook?
Like this recipe? Well then you will LOVE my new cookbook: Gluten Free and Grain Free Breads, Batters and Doughs!
This is so much more than “just a cookbook”! In this book, I teach you how to bake with almond flour, nut butters, coconut flour, tapioca flour, arrowroot flour and even toasted quinoa flour!
By the time you finish with this cookbook, you will be an expert in gluten free and grain free baking, I promise!
There are tons of gluten free, grain free and Paleo recipes throughout this book! Don’t miss out on this amazing book!
Can I substitute a white or red wine vinegar for the apple cider vinegar? I didn’t realize we had ran out!
Can the almond butter be replaced with pureed cooked beans?
Do you happen to know the nutrition information for this recipe? It’s soo delish!!
Making this for breakfast. It is in the oven now. Can’t wait!
I made this yesterday and it is REALLY good. Thank you for the recipe! FYI, I only had 2 eggs so I had to use one flax egg and it turned out fine.
Its such as you learn my mind! You appear to grasp so much approximately this, like you wrote the book in
it or something. I think that you simply can do with some p.c.
to power the message house a bit, however other than that, that is magnificent blog.
A fantastic read. I’ll certainly be back.
This is soooo yummy!!! My 4 y.o. son gobbled it up:) Just recently went gluten free for health reasons and I’m hoping everything tastes this great☺
It’s wonderful that you are getting ideas from this piece of
writing as well as from our dialogue made at this time.
Hi, its pleasant piece of writing about media print, we all be aware of media is
a great source of information.
I was wondering if anyone had made muffins from this recipe for the chic chip banana but bread ( gluten free paleo) ?
Made the bread and loved it! Would be great if the ‘Nutrition Facts’ were included here.
I made this today and had no almond butter on hand so I used 1 C sunflower butter and 1/2 C peanut butter.. I know… not paleo…but it came out amazing!!!! I am sure it would come out just as amazing with all sunflower butter. I have been grain free for almost two years now and this is going to be one of my favorite treats to make!!!!
