My Favorite GF Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

Preheat oven to 350 F.
Butter a 9 x 5 loaf pan





In a small bowl, combine and stir to mix:

1/2 cup chocolate chips

1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

In a medium bowl, combine and stir with a whisk to blend:

1 cup white rice flour
1/4 cup brown rice flour
1/4 cup sorghum flour
1 tsp xanthan gum
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda

Using an electric mixer on medium speed, cream together until light and fluffy:

1/2 cup butter at room temperature
1 cup sugar

Add and beat well:

2 large eggs, beaten
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Mix in:

1 cup mashed overripe bananas (about 2 large bananas)

Gradually beat in the dry ingredients until a smooth batter forms.
Pour one third of the batter into the prepared pan.
Sprinkle in half of the nut mixture.

Follow with one third of the remaining batter.
Sprinkle with remaining nut mixture and add the remaining batter on top.
Smooth top and bake for 50 - 55 minutes.

Remove from oven and let cool 15 minutes on wire rack.
Unmold and cut into slices to serve. :)
