Fluffy and moist banana bars with melty chocolate chips and crunchy walnuts in every bite. These chocolate chip banana bars are delicious, easy, and healthy (but you'd never guess it.) Perfect for any occasion, you'll be coming back for seconds after the first bite!
Ingredients
- 1 cup GF flour I used Bob's Red Mill 1:1 GF flour
- ½ cup super fine blanched almond flour
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 cup overripe bananas mashed (~2 medium bananas)
- 2 large eggs
- ⅓ cup coconut sugar packed
- ¼ cup coconut oil melted & cooled
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup chocolate chips + more for topping
- ⅓ cup walnuts + more topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a 8x8” cake pan with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the gluten free flour, almond flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine mashed bananas and eggs. Stir until well combined. Whisk in coconut sugar, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Stir again until smooth.
- To the mixing bowl, fold in dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in chocolate chips and chopped walnuts.
- Add batter to the parchment-lined 8”x8” pan and spread in an even layer. Optional: top with extra chocolate chips and chopped walnuts
- Move to the oven and bake for 20 - 25 minutes (mine took 23 minutes) or until the cake top is browned, edges are pulling away from the sides of the pan, cake center bounces back, and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out completely crumb-free.
- Let cool completely and enjoy!
