Gluten-Free Banana Coconut Brownie Bites

These brownie bites are chewy, moist, and have a nice chocolate banana flavour. Best of all they’re both gluten-free and toddler approved! Coconut Flour can be a tricky ingredient to bake with.. It’s definitely not a straightforward gluten-free substitution for flour. High in fibre, and low on the glycemic index coconut flour is a great flour alternative. But I suggest using a recipe like this one that specifically calls for coconut flour so that the other ingredient ratios are adjusted accordingly.
