Gluten Free Banana Bread (vegan!)

I'm not vegan..in fact we LOVE eggs and dairy, but I know that many people who are unable to tolerate gluten are also not able to tolerate eggs or dairy, so I wanted to get some baked good recipes up that would apply to them.  Plus, we are running low on eggs and milk right now, so I wanted to find a recipe that didn't use those ingredients.

This is a very delicious, dessert-y banana bread.  We all really enjoyed it and actually devoured it pretty fast.  And, if has chocolate chips in it....you basically can't go wrong with chocolate chips, right?

Gluten Free Banana Bread (vegan!)

1 cup white rice flour

1/2 cup tapioca flour

1 tablespoon arrowroot starch

1 teaspoon xanthum gum

1 teaspoon baking soda

2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

2 teaspoons cinnamon

1/2 cup chopped walnuts (can be omitted for those with allergies)

1/2 cup gluten free chocolate chips

3 very ripe, mashed bananas

1 cup sugar 

2 teaspoons vanilla

1/2 cup oil (you can use coconut oil, olive oil, grapeseed oil, nut oil, etc.)

Mix dry ingredients (except nuts and chocolate chips).  In a separate bowl mix wet ingredients.  Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix.  Stir in nuts and chocolate chips.   Bake in a greased loaf pan for 1 hour and 10 minutes at 350 degrees or until done.

Enjoy your vegan gluten free banana bread!
