Easy Paleo Chocolate Chip Banana Bread – it will become a Sunday morning staple! (Paleo + GF + Dairy-Free Friendly)
Paleo Banana Bread Recipe
Who doesn’t love the smell of homemade banana bread!
Banana bread is such a comfort food for me! I love making it for my girls and the way it makes my house smell! We make this recipe a lot on the weekend and I can’t wait for you guys to try it!
Paleo Banana Bread Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cup mashed bananas (about 3 large)
- 1 egg, beaten (room temperature)
- 1 1/2 cups paleo flour (I used Bob’s Red Mill Paleo Baking Flour)
- 1 Teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 Teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 Tablespoons ghee, melted
- 1/3 – 1/2 cup semi-sweet/dairy-free chocolate chips (you decide how chocolate-y you want them!)
- Optional: have an extra banana that is ripe to garnish the top
How to Store
I recommend storing this in an airtight container on the counter for the first day you make it and then move it to the refrigerator. It doesn’t have any preservatives in it, so I wouldn’t recommend keeping on the counter longer than a day!
What is the texture like; is it moist
The texture is honestly so similar to regular banana bread! My kids cannot tell the difference! It is moist and soft, just like you are used to! Seriously, make a double batch because it won’t last long!

Description
Easy Paleo Chocolate Chip Banana Bread – it will become a Sunday morning staple!
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cup mashed bananas (about 3 large)
- 1 egg, beaten (room temperature)
- 1 1/2 cups paleo baking flour (I used Bob’s Red Mill Paleo Baking Flour)
- 1 Teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 Teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 Tablespoons ghee, melted (or coconut oil)
- 1/3 – 1/2 cup semi-sweet/dairy-free chocolate chips (you decide how chocolate-y you want them!)
- Optional: have an extra banana that is ripe to garnish the top
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325.
- Grease 9 x 5 x 3 inch loach pan; set aside.
- Measure mashed bananas into a medium bowl.
- Add beaten egg; mix well.
- In separate bowl, combine flour, soda, and salt.
- Stir the flour mixture into the banana mixture.
- Mix in chocolate chips; stir to combine.
- Mix in melted ghee.
- Spoon batter into prepared pan.
- Optional: take extra banana and carefully cut a think strip and place on the top of the loaf; gently pressing down into the dough with the palm of your hand.
- Bake 1 hour, or until toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean.
- Let rest 5 minutes in the pan; carefully use spatula to loosen sides and then carefully turn out onto a wire rack to cool.
Notes
- If you want this a little sweeter you can also had 1/2 cup of coconut sugar into the egg + banana mixture.
- You can place a piece of parchment across the bread pan (the short way) and then press down – place the prepared banana bread mixture on top, making sure there are flaps on either side. This makes it easier to lift out when done baking.

After reading the comments, I also used almond flour bc it’s what I had on hand. My whole family loved this banana bread and I will definitely be making it again! Thanks for keeping it easy and delicious.
Erin says
Hi Daisi! yay!! That is so awesome to hear! I think I will be making another batch this weekend myself 🙂 Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback -I really appreciate it!

Just wondering if the almond flour users made it with super fine or regular almond flour and how much-did they sub the same amount as you used for paleo flour?
Also did you not use any sugar? The only sweetness comes from the bananas?
I am anxious to try this as I eat lower carb foods. It sounds delish!
Thanks.
Erin says
Hi Diane! I would assume they used super-fine almond flour (Bob’s Red Mill has a great one I use ALL the time!)! That way the bread won’t be as grainy. And yes, it is sweetened by the bananas only!! So yummy!
