For not being a big fan of banana bread this wasn’t too bad. My niece said “Delicious!”

I found this recipe from Chewoutloud.com on  foodgawker.  I was suckered in by the photo. This happens a lot with photos of food for me.



I started with some funny looking sweet potatoes.

Removed their skins.

And put them in a bowl with a mashed banana.



Mixed them together but didn’t worry too much about lumps.

Added butter,  sugar

a little vanilla,

some Greek yogurt



and an egg.

Then greased the pan with the last of the butter from a butter paper because that’s what my mother always did.

I used Bob’s red mill all purpose gluten free flour and Bob’s xanthan gum.

Baking powder,



and cocoa powder.

The xanthan gum certainly make things sticky!

Last I tossed in some chocolate chips and some white chocolate chips.

I kinda had to fight it off the spoon it was so sticky.

Bake for about an hour or less if you’re using mini loaf pans like I did.

Cool in pan for at least 10 minutes. Turn bread out onto wire rack and cool completely before slicing.
