I found this recipe from Ambitious Kitchen for Banana Chocolate Chip Bread. It uses only besan flour as the grain!
Banana Chocolate Chip Bread – Gluten Free Dairy Free
I had the chance to try out the Mockmill Home Grain Mill and knew I wanted to make a gluten free, dairy free bread that used besan flour. Besan flour is aka Chick-pea or Gram Flour. You can check out my review of the Mockmill Home Grain Mill HERE.

Back to the recipe for this delicious Banana Chocolate Chip Bread. This recipe is healthy, using great ingredients like apple cider vinegar, coconut oil and lots of other healthy things. The bread also rose nicely, even being gluten free! I love using these smaller commercial bread pans for gluten free breads. They bake through the loaf better and don’t seem to make the edges of the bread as dark. This bread would be very good with 1/2 cup ground walnuts in it too!
My cousin was visiting from the lower 48 when I made this bread. She loved the taste! You would not know this is gluten free! In fact I wasn’t home when my hubby got home. I had already cut a couple pieces of bread for my cousin and myself so the loaf of bread was on the table. When I got home my hubby said he’d eaten a bunch of the banana bread and wondered where I “bought” it! I said I baked it and he was amazed. He said it tastes so good. I told him it only has besan flour in it and he said you gotta make that again! You can buy Besan Flour here.
