Gluten Free Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Bread

Submitted by Chef Q in Oregon

"I composed this recipe from 3 others mixing and matching the ingredients to make the perfect soft, moist bread. It tastes just regular chocolate peanut butter banana bread. My family, including my 4 kids, loved it so much it was eaten within 2 days. There are lots of ingredients, but it is well worth it to get such a soft, moist and delicious gluten free bread."
