Grain-Free Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

INGREDIENTS:

– 1/2 cup coconut flour

– 1 teaspoon baking powder

– 1/4 teaspoon salt (I like Real Salt)

– 4 ripe bananas

– 4 eggs

– 1/4 cup coconut oil

– 3 tablespoons to 1/4 cup maple syrup (grade B has more minerals)

– 2 tablespoons applesauce (here is a recipe for homemade)

– 2 teaspoons vanilla

– 2 tablespoons grass-fed gelatin hydrolysate (don’t use regular gelatin)

– 1/2 to 1 cup soy-free chocolate chips

INSTRUCTIONS:

– Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

– Line a loaf pan (bottom and sides) with parchment paper.

– In a large bowl crack eggs and add coconut flour, baking powder and salt. Mix well.

– Mix gelatin and maple syrup together in a small bowl and add to mixture.

– Melt coconut oil if solid and add to bowl along with remaining ingredients.

– Mix well and allow to sit for about 5 minutes.

– Pour into prepared pan and bake at 350 degrees F for about 1 hour. It takes mine about 1 hour 10 minutes for a knife inserted in the center to come out clean.

– Remove from oven and allow to cool on a baking rack.

– Can be eaten warm or cold.

– Store in the refrigerator.    [Credit: RealFoodOutlaws.com]
