Why am I sharing gluten-free recipes? Well, one of my daughters discovered she had Celiac disease (via testing). And a few of us have found that gluten in foods is affecting us, too. By eating fewer foods with gluten, we are feeling better, too. If you aren't GF, be sure to check out our other baking recipes.

Let's get started making this gluten-free banana bread recipe with chocolate chips!

Why You Will Love This Gluten-Free Banana Bread

• It uses up ripe bananas!
• Easy to make.
• Moist
• Family-friendly
• Easy to adapt the recipe.
  You can make it with or without the chocolate chips or nuts.

Ingredients for Gluten-Free Banana Chocolate Chip Bread

• 3 medium to large Bananas
• 2 tablespoons of Buttermilk (see recipe notes)
• 2 cups of Gluten-Free Flour (I used King Arthur's GF Flour 1-1)
• 1 teaspoon of Baking Soda
• 1/4 teaspoon of Kosher Salt
• 1 teaspoon of Ground Cinnamon
• 1 cup of granulated Sugar
• 1/2 cup of Vegetable Oil
• 2 teaspoons of Vanilla Extract
• 1 large Egg
• 1 cup of Chocolate Chips
• 2/3 cup Chopped Pecans (optional)

How To Make Gluten-Free Banana Chocolate Chip Bread

Instructions

1. Preheat oven and prepare the pan: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper. Set aside.
2. Make buttermilk: Combine 2 tablespoons milk with 1 teaspoon lemon juice and let sit for 15 minutes.
3. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together gluten-free flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and kosher salt.
4. Mix wet ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine sugar, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Beat in the egg until fully incorporated.
5. Combine wet and dry: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined — do not overmix.
6. Add bananas and mix-ins: Mash bananas with a fork and fold into batter. Add chocolate chips and chopped pecans if using.
7. Bake: Pour batter into prepared pan. Let rest 5–10 minutes while the oven finishes preheating. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 55–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean. Start checking at 50 minutes to prevent overbaking. Tent with foil if the top is browning too quickly.
8. Cool: Let bread cool in the pan 10 minutes, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely. Gluten-free banana bread firms as it cools.

Recipe Tips

• Line pans with parchment and coat with non-stick spray for easy removal.
• If skipping pecans, increase the chocolate chips slightly.
• Most chocolate chips are gluten-free. Check the label.
• Using very ripe bananas is key to a sweet, moist loaf.
• Check the bread 10–15 minutes before the end of baking; tent with foil if it browns too fast.
• This recipe is based on my Starbucks Copycat Banana Bread Recipe.. You can use regular flour and follow the same directions if you aren’t gluten-free.

FAQ

Can I make this gluten-free banana bread dairy-free?
Yes! Swap the butter for melted coconut oil or a dairy-free butter, and use dairy-free chocolate chips.

How ripe should the bananas be for gluten-free banana bread?
Very ripe bananas work best — lots of brown spots mean more natural sweetness and moisture, which helps gluten-free baking.

Why did my gluten-free banana bread turn out dense?
Gluten-free batters need time to hydrate. Let the batter rest 10–15 minutes before baking, and be sure not to overmix.

Can you freeze gluten-free banana bread?
Yes. Gluten-free banana bread freezes well for up to 2–3 months when wrapped tightly and stored in a freezer-safe container.

Storing and Freezing Gluten-Free Banana Bread

• Room temperature: Store in an airtight container or zip-top bag for 2–3 days.
• Refrigerator: Store for 5–7 days.
• Freezer: Freeze up to 2–3 months. Loaf or slices work; slices are convenient for grab-and-go breakfasts or snacks.
• To freeze: Cool completely, wrap tightly, and place in a freezer-safe bag or container. If freezing slices, add parchment or wax paper between slices to prevent sticking and easy separation—label and date before freezing.

After making a cow doll pattern from the same designer (and loving how easy and adorable it was), I couldn’t resist trying this bunny version—and it turned out just as sweet.

Check out this fabric bunny pattern.

The Instructions for the Fabric Bunny are Very Clear and Easy To Follow!

1. The directions are easy to download and print or download to view from your desktop or tablet. The instructions are also clear and easy to follow.
   I only had to reread a few parts to make sure I was doing the right things.
2. Don't skip reading through the directions before starting!
   Once pattern pieces are cut, you need to cut outside the lines to allow for seam (sewing) allowances.
3. The pattern has a supply list and helpful tips for selecting materials.
4. You can easily use materials in your fabric stash along with purchased fabrics. Coordinating fabrics to make an adorable fabric bunny doll.
5. See the pattern details here for the sewing pattern, which also includes a mini tote bag, and carrots patterns, and instructions.

I am making three of these fabric bunny dolls for three lucky granddaughters. I picked different fabrics for each bunny dress. One fabric was pink with florals, another blue with small flowers, and the other was leftover fabric from my granddaughter's baby quilt (she is 11 now, how time flies). My 11-year-old will love this for her bedroom's decor.

Making a boy bunny doll from this pattern

I decided my little grandson was going to be jealous of his sister's Easter bunny. So I sewed him one using the cow pattern clothes. I adapted the top and used the vintage cowboy fabric (I had found this fabric on Etsy), which I had for his doll. Scroll down to see the photos later in the post.

DIY Bunny Doll

Skill Level for the Pattern

This bunny softie sewing pattern is slightly beyond a beginner level and up. If you can sew a straight line, sew curves, turn fabric, and know a little hand stitching and some embroidery, you've got this! Plus, know your fabric sides: the right side and the wrong side of fabrics. You will sew the bunny doll dress top and attach it to the gathered skirt bottom.

Note: With the pattern, she has a sewing guide (with images) to take you through the process.

But if you don't sew, the pattern designer makes and sells dolls in her shop. Welcome to her world of magical, unique dolls and patterns. Flabrika on Etsy

My Experience Making This Bunny Doll

Here’s a quick look at how my fabric bunny doll came together—from cutting and sewing to assembling and dressing the finished piece. This isn’t a full step-by-step tutorial, but it gives you an idea of the process and what to expect from the pattern.

Tips for Sewing the Bunny Doll Dress

1. Cutting and sewing the dress top (bodice) is straightforward. What is a little tricky is getting it through the small opening when turning. You will need patience, a turning tool, and long tweezers.
2. Use a dowel to help stuff the arms and legs of the bunny.
3. There are two ways to sew the bodice to the bottom of the dress.
4. You need to gather the bottom of the dress. This is easy. If you have never done it; You sew with long stitches and do not stop and reverse to lock in a stitch at the beginning or the end, leaving a long thread on each side. This is done twice. The long threads are pulled to make the gathers.
5. When pinning the bottom of the dress to the top, match ends after gathering and find the center. Then adjust gathers as needed. Pin in place before sewing.
6. Optionally, you can find a video tutorial and adapt the pattern.
7. An extra tip, when sewing projects, I use a storage bin with a lid like this or this storage bin to keep all my pattern pieces (uncut and cut), cut fabrics, and other items. This way, I don't lose anything I am working on.
8. I didn't make the bows as shown. I think you need to double the size or cut two to make the bow as the designer did.

This PDF pattern comes with very detailed instructions and step-by-step photos! This is very helpful, no matter what level of sewer you are!

• Step-by-step sewing instruction book with detailed descriptions and photos of the making process in the English language
• The pattern comes with the bunny doll pattern and instructions. 17.7’’/45 cm Bunny doll sewing pattern. Along with the bunny's dress and a bow pattern. And a pattern for the felt shoes.
• Additionally, there is a pattern for carrots in 3 sizes and a mini tote bag for the bunny.
• It's helpful that she can be contacted with questions on Etsy or via email (the email is in her shop in the listing).

Optional Bunny Accessories (Mini Tote and Carrots)

Making this for spring or Easter decor? The optional mini tote and carrots are like carrot cake frosting to the bunny in her outfit!

Handmade Bunny Dolls for Easter or Baby Gifts

Additionally, you can omit the carrots and the tote to make the perfect handmade bunny doll.

What fabric is best for sewing bunny dolls?

Cotton muslin is a popular fabric for sewing soft dolls and bunny plush toys because it is lightweight, easy to sew, and gives dolls a soft, handmade look.

Supplies and Fabrics For The Bunny Sewing Project

• Cotton Muslin (for the bunny body). In an off-white, unbleached off-white, or ecru color.
• Polyfiberfil for stuffing the bunny.
• Cotton fabric [Cotton fabric like this] for the dress, bow, and optional mini tote bag, and carrots.
• Cotton lace trim or ribbons for embellishing the dress.
• Felt for the shoes.
• Notions: Thread, embroidery threads, sewing needles, and embroidery hoop.
• Sewing Scissors
• I highly recommend a turning tool, long tweezers, and a dowel for the project.

The Bunny Doll Sewing Pattern. And you will also need a printer to print the pattern and computer paper. Then cut it out.

• Shop our supply picks in our Amazon shop, all in one spot.

How long did it take me to make the craft project?

Practice makes perfect! Even if you make a few mistakes, the more you sew and practice using the bunny sewing pattern, the better you get! And the easier they become.

Well, it's hard to say as I didn't track time. The project began with printing and cutting the pattern. Then, I pinned and cut the fabrics, embroidered the faces, and added the felt cheeks.

For cutting the fabric and sewing the dress and shoes. It took me a few hours. I think once you make the pattern, each time it will go faster.

I felt like the bunny itself, minus the face embroidery, was very quick to make.

You can definitely make one in a weekend or a few evenings. For the gifts, I added these printable Easter gift tags. They are available in my printables shop.

Would I use this sewing pattern again?

Yes! And it can be used to sew and sell them (using the terms described in the sewing pattern). Yay, for craft show crafters and small shop crafters!

Making & Finished Boy Bunny Doll

For the boy bunny doll, I adapted the top from the cow doll pattern and used the shorts from the cow doll pattern. If I were to make the top again, I would make the back two pieces with snaps. I made a V-neck in the back with bias tape. The rest of the pattern was the same. I designed and made my own cowboy hat from felt for the little boy bunny, too. A

This Bunny Doll Pattern is my latest sewing project! It is an adorable fabric bunny with felt shoes and a market bag filled with carrots!

Here I go, on my sewing adventures. This one is a bunny I made for Easter and spring gifts: two down, and one to go. All done and mailed! What will I sew next? I'm not sure yet, but subscribe to follow along with my crafting and sewing adventures.

• Gluten-free (if you use a GF soy sauce).

A Quick Note About Our Kitchen

If you are a subscriber you know our kitchen flooded. And if you aren't now you know. We are right in the middle of the beginning stages of fixing everything. We finally got our insurance approved so we hooked the stove back up (despite having no flooring and 2×4 posts holding up the counter and no lower cabinets. With it being winter, until we get to the next phase I can cook indoors. I'm keeping it simple and not using my professional camera right now. With that said, let's get to the yummy stuff!

Easy Ingredients for Your Stir Fry

• 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 1 lb fresh green beans (trimmed, or 1 bag ready-to-cook)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil or sesame oil
• 2 to 3 tablespoons soy sauce (regular or gluten-free, to taste)
• 1/2 to 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• 1 package frozen sticky rice (for serving)
• Tomari Soy Sauce (Use: (Regular) Soy Sauce or Gluten-Free)

Note: To make this recipe gluten-free, use a certified gluten-free soy sauce.

• We love Tamari Soy Sauce for the Gluten-Free option!
• (Regular) Soy Sauce or Gluten-Free)

Step-by-Step: How to Make Stir Fry Chicken with Green Beans

Seasoning and Browning the Chicken

Cut the chicken into bite-sized strips or chunks (of equal thickness). Heat oil in a non-stick pan. Season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes. Brown lightly on medium-high heat while stirring.

The Secret to Fast Veggies: Parboiling Green Beans

Fill a pot halfway with water and beans; bring to a boil. Once boiling, remove with tongs and add directly to the slightly browned chicken

Combining the Sauce and Simmering

Add 1/4 cup of soy sauce to the chicken and green beans. At this point, simmer for a few minutes until the chicken reaches the proper internal temperature.

Adjust Seasoning to Taste

At this stage, taste your stir fry and add a pinch more red pepper flakes or garlic powder if you prefer a bolder flavor.

Serving Shortcut: 5-Minute Frozen Sticky Rice

Heat according to package directions. Plate the rice and top with the hot stir fry!

You might not have leftovers if you serve four people, but if you have small kids or make it for two, you probably will.

How to Store and Reheat Leftovers

Perfect for two people! Store any leftovers in microwave-safe containers once cooled. Reheat (uncovered) on a plate or in the container until warm.

Have you made your vision board yet? If not, click here to plan and create one. If you’ve already mapped out your dreams, it’s time to set up the systems that will actually help you achieve them. It all starts with your home office organization essentials.

We all know that New Year’s energy can fade quickly. It’s easy to lose focus without the right tools and supplies to support your habits. To help you stay on task, I’ve curated a list of essentials designed to keep your office, your schedule, and your finances on track.

I’ve already purchased several of these supplies myself, and they have been total game-changers! My personal goal is to be much more organized than I was last year. I’m focusing on a system that allows for easy review, digitization, and management of receipts, deductibles, and expenses. You can see exactly how I set up my office here to get a better look at these systems in action.

Home Office Organization Essentials

“Shop my full curated office collection on my LTK here.” And the latest one here curated office & desk collection.

Mastering Your Schedule

Things to do: Office supplies to help you manage your schedule and organize your office and paperwork.

Use Planners, Calendars, and Daily To Do Lists

1. Wall/Desk Calendars: Focus on “at-a-glance” visibility for the whole family/office.
2. Weekly Notepad Agendas: Explain why these are great for “micro-planning” without the commitment of a full bound book.
3. Daily To-Do Lists: Prioritize your “Big 3” tasks. And others under them.

Create a Command Center (Office Organization)

• Filing Systems: Categorizing file folders (Medical, Home, Work, Small Business, etc.).
• Desktop Organizers: Desk trays, office organization sets, and cable management.
• The Aesthetic Factor: Choosing tools that look good (gold accents, pastel colors, florals, bespoke…) will keep you motivated to use them.
• Keep “Current Projects” separate from “Reference Materials.”
• The “Clear Desk” Habit: Promoting a mental reset at the end of every Friday.

Digital Command Centers

For Home and Small Business Track Expenses & Keep Receipts

• Receipt Management: Use Accordion folders or use a receipt scanner (or both).
• Get and make a “Tax Box”: A simple system to start collecting documents now, so April and doing your taxes isn't a nightmare.
• Monthly Expense Trackers. I love using them (for home and my small business) and then adding them digitally to my spreadsheets.
