Gluten Free Double Chocolate Banana Bars

Banana bars are one of my favorite ways to use overripe bananas. They are easy to make and the banana works well with the gluten free flours.

My daughter actually made these gluten free double chocolate banana bars. She is becoming quite the gluten free baker. She is always volunteering to help out baking or cooking something. Gluten free muffins, cakes, and cookies are her favorite.

She loves anything banana and enjoys making my gluten free chocolate chip banana bar recipe, but she wanted to change it up recently and and decided to add cocoa to the recipe.

Adding cocoa to the recipe worked great. They were moist, delicious, and full of chocolate. We loved these just as they are, but you could easily frost them with a cream cheese frosting for more of a banana cake. It would be delicious that way as well.
