Banana bread is truly how I started experimenting with baking! I just love it so much, and honestly I will never get sick of it! This recipe is my original, classic chocolate chip banana bread that I have honestly been making for years! And it's gluten free!
Ok, short story time:
Did you know that a big part of how I started my business was selling baked goods in my apartment complex on Thursday mornings? I would work for days to prepare 50+ baked goods and sit in the lobby hoping to sell a few healthy treats to people on their way to work. Even though I basically lost money doing this, I still enjoyed every minute of it. I was getting my brand, my name and passion out there. It was worth it to me! Everyone has to start somewhere and for me, that was it! Eventually, I started sharing my recipes through social media and the blog instead of selling to people in real life. It was for the best, but I always look back on that time with a warm heart. It was a huge turning point for me. I knew nothing and had no idea what would come of all of this. Today, I am grateful to be sharing my recipes are creations with thousands, impacting people's lives and doing what I love. Just writing this post makes me proud. I truly hope you enjoy this recipe, and all the other ones I put out there. Thank you for your ongoing support of Eat Well With Sari. It would not be the same without you.

Ingredients:
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350.
Mash bananas well so that the chunks are fairly small. I love using a potato masher and cutting board. You can also use a bowl/ fork or an electronic mixer.

Add baking soda, cinnamon, coconut sugar, flaxmeal and oat flour in the bowl. Mix again until the batter forms.
