Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×5 loaf pan with parchment.

2. Whisk gluten-free flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a bowl.

3. In a large bowl, whisk melted butter, brown sugar, eggs, mashed bananas, vanilla, and milk until smooth.

4. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and stir gently until combined — do not overmix.

5. Fold in chocolate chips.

6. Spread batter into loaf pan and sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top.

7. Bake 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick near the center comes out clean.

8. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Use very ripe bananas for best sweetness and texture.

Tent the loaf with foil if browning early.

Swap chocolate chips for nuts or peanut butter chips for variations.

Slices freeze beautifully — wrap individually for grab-and-go snacks.
