Description
Arguably the most baked recipe in my kitchen! Gluten-free and sugar-free but not short of sweet banana flavor or soft texture. Plus, this loaf is refined sugar free but full of rich sugar-free dark chocolate chunks.

Notes
*Earth Balance is the vegan butter that I use and trust to bake with. I do not recommend using Miyokos butter in baking
* you can use honey rather than maple syrup – usee 1/2 cup of honey 1/4 cup of almond or dairy free milk
* you can use a flax egg rather than a chicken egg
*and you can always omit the chocolate – but it is delicious!
