Banana Bread is already fantastic as it is but this Double Chocolate Banana Bread takes it to the next level! Not only is the banana bread itself chocolate but it is loaded with chocolate chips inside and on top! This ensures each and every bite is filled with gooey deliciousness. If that wasn’t enough…it’s gluten free, nut free, egg free and easily vegan!
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9 x 5 loaf pan with parchment paper leaving a one inch overhang on either side. Set aside.
In a medium bowl combine the gluten free flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Whisk until fully combined.
In a large bowl, using a spoon, mix together the cornstarch and water until it has a thin watery consistency. It will be tacky and thick at first.
Once the cornstarch water is mixed, add the sugar to the cornstarch water and whisk to combine. Whisk in the mashed bananas, oil, vanilla and cinnamon. Mix until well combined.
Next, stir in the flour mixture, a third at a time, until just combined. If it gets too thick for a whisk, switch to a spatula.
Fold in the cup of chocolate chips using the spatula. Pour the batter into the lined 9x5 loaf pan and top with more chips if desired.
Bake for about 75-80 min until the top of the loaf is risen and springy to the touch.
Remove from the oven and let cool in the loaf pan for at least 15 min.
Lift the banana bread out using the parchment paper overhang and let it cool before cutting it open. Otherwise, it will fall apart. Enjoy!
