    Gluten-free, dairy-free, and sweetened with maple syrup with a hint of chocolate, our gluten-free banana bread recipe is seriously B A N A N A S. Plus, we're sharing Philip's mom's tip to ensuring a moist, gluten-free base using this simple ingredient.

    Gluten-free. Dairy-free. Refined Sugar-free. What we love most about banana bread, aside from it being a fruit cake, is the natural sweetness that comes from overly ripened bananas. A staple recipe in our kitchen, our gluten-free banana bread is moist, decadent and subtly sweetened with maple syrup. But did you know that growing up Philip convinced himself he was allergic to bananas?!

    As a child, Philip was diagnosed with celiac disease and while his intolerance has shifted as an adult, it was a challenge for his mom and grandmother to find alternative solutions to baked goods - banana bread included. During a recent conversation with his mom, Philip asked her how she removed gluten free flours from breads without the addition of gums and additional starches. She then shared with me the single best baking tip I've ever heard in my entire life. Are you ready for it?

    Use any bread, cookie or cake recipe you choose and (wait for it) double the eggs. Thanks mom.

    Bon Appetit xo

    A gluten-free, dairy-free snack for the health nut in all of us. This chocolate banana loaf is sure to satisfy your sweet tooth without the guilt. It was a staple in Phil's allergy filled childhood and is so good we enjoy it as this gluten-free version.
