Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, whisking until well combined.

In a separate bowl, sift together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined.

Step 6

Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Optionally, sprinkle the gluten-free oats on top for added texture.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Slice and serve the cake once it's cooled, enjoying its rich chocolate flavor and moist banana texture.
