Ingredients:

• 1 cup flour (Gluten Free All Purpose Baking Flour)- Bob’s Red Mill’s
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• pinch of salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 eggs
• 4 tablespoons sour milk or soy milk (almost 4 tablespoons of the milk mixed with 1 teaspoon vinegar)-let sit for two minutes-it will curd slightly
• 1 stick butter softened
• 1 cup mashed banana (the older the better unless it smells)
• 2 handfuls chocolate chips (healthy version…cocoa nibs)
• 1 handful shredded coconut
• Glaze
• 1/2 cup confectioners sugar
• 1-2 teaspoons milk or soy milk (I used hazelnut coffee creamer)

Instructions:

- Heat oven to 350 Degrees F

- Mix wet ingredients in another bowl

- Mix dry and wet ingredients together

- Pour into greased and floured bread baking pan

- sprinkle 1 handful of chocolate chips and shredded coconut on batter in pan and swirl with a knife.

- Add remaining chocolate chips and coconut on top

- Bake at 350 Degree for 45-50 ( tin pan) 50-55(glass pan) minutes. My oven bakes for 46 minutes in a tin pan.

- When cool, drizzle with glaze.

Instructions for glaze…

- Put 1 teaspoon of milk of choice into confectioners sugar and slowly add more milk if needed to get desired consistency. It should be rather thin.

- If you want a healthy glaze, take honey and drizzle the bread and sprinkle with cinnamon!
