I love it when you can eat a treat that is actually good for you! This gluten-free quick bread recipe is packed with protein, thanks to almond flour and eggs, is gluten and dairy-free, and has some serious super-food quality thanks to goji berries.
Goji berries have been used for over 2,000 years as a medicinal food and supplement. Thanks to high levels of antioxidants, they help protect your eyes, combat inflammation, improve skin health, stabilize blood sugar, and have been shown to improve depression, anxiety, and sleep. That’s a lot of power in some little tasty berries!
I get mine from BareOrgaincs, they are organic, vegan, gluten-free, and non-GMO. I like the sweet-tart flavor and think they work so well in this bread recipe – a nice balance to the chocolate chips.
Let’s not forget – chocolate is its own superfood – especially dark chocolate. It helps with cardiovascular health, brain function, and mood. I agree about the mood thing – who feels bad when eating chocolate?
