Chocolate Chip Banana Bread (Gluten-Free)

Ingredients

• 1 cup teff flour
• 2 tablespoons teff flour
• 1 cup buckwheat flour
• 1/4 cup tapioca flour
• 1/4 cup brown rice flour
• 1 2/3 cups sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 4 ounces butter
• 1/4 cup oil
• 2 1/2 cups mashed bananas (about 4 large Bananas or 6 medium Bananas)
• 3/4 cup buttermilk (or slightly less)
• 2 eggs (or 2t ground flax plus 1/4 C water)

• 1 cup chocolate chips (OR Chopped Pecans OR combination of the two)

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350 F (325 in Convection oven).

2. 2

   Prepare baking pan, either line with parchment or dust with butter and 'flour' (I use teff, though parchment is the tastier option. Trust me).

3. 3

   Combine all dry ingredients in the bowl of a mixer (or, if no mixer, in a bowl).

4. 4

   Add butter and mix until butter/dry combination has consistency of cornmeal.

5. 5

   Add wet ingredients all at once and mix for about 2 minutes. Fold in Nuts/Chocolate or combination.

6. 6

   Pour into 12" loaf pan or 2 8/9" loaves. Bake in center rack for about 1 hr, or until a toothpick inserted in the loaf comes out clean.

7. 7

   Allow to cool. Slice and eat or freeze right away. Will remain tender for at least 5 days, if kept in an airtight container.
