Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

Here's a quick post with this gluten free banana bread.   I have lots of bananas laying around in my kitchen, hence they end up being turned into delicious bread like this.  It's great for a quick snack or breakfast and it is darn healthy.  This one is in fact the redemption of my recent tendency.

I admit as the kids get older, I'm not as strict when it comes to junk food aka. treats as before.  I find myself more and more allowing them to have junk foods that I didn't allow before... like certain chips and sodas like slashes and cheetos.  Now they are older, they ask for those unhealthy but super fun food and I want to give that pleasure to them it even if I'm not so sure about it.  

So here I am making this super duper healthy treat to calm myself down about the dilemma.  I made this banana bread with loads of nutritious stuff like chia seeds, sweet potato flour, coconut flour, and coconut oil.  It's very moist and fluffy at the same time.  Thankfully the kids loved it especially with chocolate chips and it was gone in a second.  Can't go wrong with the combination of chocolate and banana.  I will probably give them junky treats here and there like I do with myself, but not too often!
