My favorite sugar-free chocolate chips
I talked a little bit about this in my last Low-carb Chocolate Muffins post, and I’ll repeat it again. Be very careful about the type of sugar-free chocolate chip you buy because some brands use maltitol as the sweetener. Some studies have proven that maltitol spikes blood glucose levels. So, it’s a no-no for people who have diabetes.
So, my favorite sugar-free chocolate chips are Lily’s Chocolate Chips because they’re made with natural stevia and real chocolate. Also, it’s dairy-free and soy-free too. I highly recommend it, and this is the brand that I used to make this Paleo Chocolate Chip Almond Flour Banana Bread, Healthy Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread, and Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread.
Hope you guys enjoy this recipe and give it a try 😉

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350ºF and spray a bread pan (8 x 4) with non-stick spray. Then, line it with parchment paper. Set aside.

- Pour the batter into the bread pan. Add extra chocolate chips on the top of the batter if you desire.

- Place the bread pan on a wire rack and let it cool down for 10-15 minutes before lifting from the parchment paper to remove bread.

- My favorite sugar-free, dairy-free, and soy-free chocolate chips is Lily’s Chocolate chips as it’s made with natural stevia and real chocolate.
- The more ripe the bananas are, the easier they are to mash and the sweeter they'll be.
- Avoid overmixing the batter or the bread will end up tough.
- To store: Store the bread in the fridge for up to a week or on the counter for 3 days. Make sure you use an airtight container.
- To freeze: You can freeze the bread for up to 3 months. You can freeze the bread in an individual slice or as a full loaf.

Can this recipe be made without the chocolate chip?
Yes I think so. You can add blueberries instead 😉
Why does it need to be covered with foil after 30 min?
To avoid to burn on the top.
