    I had to jump on the bandwagon and create a gluten-free banana bread recipe. 🙂

    banana bread with ripe banana

    This recipe is:

    • dairy-free
    • gluten-free (make sure to use gluten-free oats)
    • delicious
    • easy to make

    Ingredients

    ingredients for banana bread

    Ripe bananas. Those overripe bananas are perfect for this recipe. Even a few brown spots or many.

    Oat flour. I've found that oat flour gives a very light crumb to gluten-free baked goods. Make sure to use gluten-free oats. Oats are naturally gluten-free, however, they can be contaminated when they are processed in the same facility as wheat.


    Make your own oat flour

    If you don't have oat flour, just get some gluten-free rolled oats and place them in a food processor or blender to grind them into oat flour. 


    Eggs. Get pastured eggs if you can. (Make it vegan and use psyllium powder instead.)

    Coconut oil. Use virgin coconut oil, the less processed the better.

    Honey or maple syrup. Use raw, unpasteurized honey or maple syrup.

    Dairy-free milk. I've used hemp milk, cashew milk, coconut milk. Any type of dairy-free milk should work for this recipe.

    Vanilla extract.

    Baking powder and baking soda. To help the bread rise.

    Sea salt. To enhance the flavors in this bread.

    Instructions

    making the banana bread

    In a large bowl, mash the bananas. Add the eggs (if using), dairy-free milk, coconut oil, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract. Mix everything until thoroughly combined.

    In a separate bowl, add the dry ingredients: oat flour, psyllium powder (if using), baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt. Mix until well combined.

    Add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir thoroughly to combine everything.

    You can also fold in some walnuts or chocolate chips if you'd like.

    Pour into your loaf pan and bake for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

    If you're using a mini loaf pan or a muffin pan, bake for 25 minutes.
