It’s back baby! As you may recall, I recently mentioned how I became tired of the cocoa bean, leading me to this Apple Cinnamon Pecan Olive Oil Cake (one of my new favs by the way!). Deep down, I knew that soon enough my BFF and I would be a team again, and I’m happy to report that day has finally arrived! Ok, so maybe we weren’t apart for that long, but it’s still a big deal to me (frankly, I can’t believe it even happened). So, as a peace offering to choco, I decided to incorporate it into this Gluten Free Dairy Free Chocolate Banana Bread recipe.
Who doesn’t love banana bread – well, I suppose maybe those who don’t like banana, but I mean if you do, isn’t it the best? Always so moist, and it’s the perfect way to use up those aging bananas.
I wanted to make this recipe dairy free. Technically I shouldn’t be consuming large amounts of dairy, even a small amount on a daily basis can be trouble. Of course, sometimes I can’t control myself and I slip up (what can I say, I love Swiss Meringue Buttercream). So, rather than using greek yogurt, I went a bit different and switched it up for mayonnaise. Yup that’s right, mayo.
Now I do recall at one point or another, using mayo in a non-gluten free recipe (back in my non-GF days), but I can’t say I ever used it in gluten free baking, until now that is. I also had a box of Kinnikinnick All Purpose Flour Blend on hand so I decided to use this rather than mixing my own blend. When you want to whip something up quickly, I find that an all purpose gluten free flour blend is the way to go. Maybe it’s the laziness in me, but I find it helps speed up the process (rather than having to pull out all my different bins of flours and making my own mix). Now for the chocolate part, I went with some hot chocolate mix rather than unsweetened cocoa. I used the Mexican Hot Cocoa Mix from Purest. It gave a nice chocolate fudge taste with a hint of spice. The final result? An easy to make, super moist banana bread full of chocolatey goodness.
