Do you have a freezer full of those brown over ripe bananas waiting to be used?! This is the recipe to make. You won’t feel so guilty after you eat half the loaf. This recipe has no butter, oil, refined sugar, or gluten! But you can always substitute the brown rice flour for all-purpose or any other gluten free flours you have. It is moist and so delicious. If you wanted to you can skip the chocolate chips, leave it plain or add some chopped nuts. You wouldn’t even know that this recipe is gluten free, its light and fluffy. You should make this, as a loaf or as mini muffins – or even regular muffins! If you are going to make these into mini muffins change your baking time to 12 minutes. Enjoy!
