The best ever healthy banana bread made with gluten free flour, olive oil and maple syrup! The secret ingredient is light sour cream which makes the banana bread so incredibly moist and delicious!

• 1+3/4 Cup Gluten Free Flour (or sub All Purpose Flour or Whole Wheat Pastry Flour)
• 1/2 Cup Chocolate Chips (or nuts of choice)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F and line a loaf pan with parchment paper and then spray with nonstick.
2. Mix together the mashed banana, olive oil, maple syrup, eggs, light sour cream and vanilla.
3. In a separate bowl, mix together the baking soda, salt, cinnamon and GF flour.
4. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet and stir until just combined (do not over mix!); fold the chocolate chips into the batter.
5. Pour the batter into the loaf pan and bake for 55-65 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean; let cool and then remove from the pan and enjoy!
