chocolate chip banana bread

This is one of the few recipes on my website that is not 100% Paleo.  In moderation (once or twice a month) I do consume gluten-free oat flour or oats, and for those of you that do/can, I have put just a couple of recipes throughout the site. This bread is a favorite of Mr. Charming's and I like to treat his office staff or our friends to this when we have pot-lucks. 


INGREDIENTS:

Wet:
2 Large Eggs
1/2 C. Honey or Bee Free Apple Honee
3/4 C. Unsweetened Organic Applesauce
1 1/2 Tsp. Organic Vanilla
2 Medium Over-Ripe Bananas (Mashed)

Honee Bee-Free Honey, 12 Ounce

Enjoy Life Dark Chocolate Morsels

Dry:
1 1/2 C. Gluten Free Oat Flour (I used Bob's Red Mill)
1/4 Tsp. Sea Salt
1 1/4 Tsp. Baking Soda
1/2 Tsp. Cream of Tartar
1/2 Tsp. Cinnamon
1/2 C. Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips

DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a small square cake pan or two bread loaf pans with a dairy free butter.  Mix together applesauce, eggs, honey or apple honee and vanilla until smooth. 

In a separate bowl mix together all dry ingredients except for the chocolate chips. Mix into the wet ingredients and mix until smooth. Mash bananas until creamy and mix in. Add chocolate chips and any other additions you prefer (nuts, dried fruit, etc.) and mix once more. I didn't need a hand mixer for this, as the batter was so smooth, I just used a wooden spoon and good old fashioned elbow grease. 

Poor into pan or pans and bake for 30-35 or until a toothpick comes out clean. 

Serve warm with cool dairy free butter. Delicious!
