This Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Banana Bread is not only easy but also HEALTHY and delicious!

I've been holding onto this recipe for months and I'm so excited to finally share it with you!

I don't know why I kept it on the back burner because it is seriously delicious. Simple to make, packed with nutrients, and who can say no to the banana-chocolate chip combo? Honestly, the best!

If you've made any of my other almond flour bread recipes, then you're going to recognize the ratio of ingredients. We start with pretty much the same base for all of them, and then switch up the liquid ingredients and spices to give it a whole new flavor. They don't even resemble the same recipe, and yet they're nearly identical.

Here's why I like doing this:

You've already purchased the ingredients, so you're able to use them up in new, unique ways
You won't get bored by making the same recipe over and over again
You'll become an expert and can then create your own flavor combos from there

This almond flour chocolate chip banana bread uses up my favorite baking staples: almond flour, quinoa flour, arrowroot starch and coconut flour.

I have done a lot of experimenting and have found this combination of flours yields amazingly fluffy and tender baked goods. We've made vegan blueberry pancakes and healthy pumpkin bread, just to name a few.

It's versatile, has a wonderful flavor profile, and it's incredibly nutritious!

I talk a lot about the protein content of quinoa on the blog, and that is one of my favorite reasons to add it into my baking mixes. But quinoa flour mixed with almond flour takes it to another level. Not only are we getting a really high-protein slice of bread, but we're also getting healthy fats, fiber and minerals.

So basically we've got…healthy + banana + chocolate. That's pretty much perfection in my book!

I personally adore starting my day with a warm slice of this healthy banana bread, spreading it with some peanut butter (or homemade honey roasted peanut butter would be even better), and enjoying it alongside a cup of my frothy Pumpkin Spice Matcha Latte.

Nutritious, delicious, protein-packed and just the right amount of fuel to get me through a busy morning. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
