This version of my banana bread is made using chickpea flour/besan (it’s just finely ground dried chickpeas). This flour gives the banana bread a rich taste, slightly nutty and is naturally gluten-free. I always add in chocolate chips and nuts to kick it up a notch - amazing texture, decadent and simply delicious! Free free to add coconut flakes, blueberries etc - the choices are endless.
