Today I want to share an easy gluten-free banana bread recipe that hits many of the needs for my family! This recipe is gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free, meat-free, all-natural, and easy on the budget (especially if you catch a deal on ripe bananas)! It is also a family favorite!
I am certain that a proper "Chef" would be nothing short of frazzled if he catered one of my family's get-togethers. In our large family, we have so many different dietary needs.
Unlike a trained chef, I don't take this as disheartening, I view it as a challenge! Finding recipes that I can tweak to encompass all of our dietary restrictions and then having them turn out is pretty darn gratifying.
Sometimes when baking gluten-free, you will notice a different texture to your baked goods. This recipe turned out amazing and will impress gluten-free and "normal" eaters alike!
I challenge you to find anything "different" about this bread. It has an amazing flavor, a great texture, and is majorly addictive!

OH NOOOOOOOO I should've read the comments before baking this.
I thought the 1 3/4 + 2 tablespoons of flour meant a total of 3 3/4 tablespoons flour so I went ahead and followed it all through until baking. Now I have this gooey, pudding-like stuff. Siiiiigh. I'll have to try this again.Reply

🙁 I still can't see it. Sorry!!
The weird thing is, I pinned it the other day... and I'm certain at that time, the recipe was there (sometimes I pin stuff without reviewing it and go back later, but with the gluten-free stuff, I scan the recipe to see how easy it is first, ha).

Sorry about that. We've been messing around with it all day and you must have caught us at a bad time twice. It's working now.

Hi, I just tried this and while I am no master baker, I am not incompetent and this did not come out at all!!! I got an extremely dark, puddling like consistency and VERY VERY sweet! The only thing I did different than the recipe is almond milk instead of coconut milk??? HELP!

It could have something to do with the brand of gluten-free flour you used. I have made this recipe several times with different brands of flour. The whiter flour blends have given me the best results. My favorite is 'Glutino' brand, which is an all white flour blend and it gives me results that are almost identical to a non-gluten free banana bread. The flour blends that are 'whole grain' will be heavier, and cause your bread to be heavier, just the same as it would in a non-gluten free loaf. Try using bananas that are much less ripe, if you find the bread too sweet
for your tastes.Reply

Does anyone know what to do with homemade Greek yogurt that got to hot during the curing process? Can I bake with it ?

Turned out great! I subbed palm sugar for regular sugar to lower the glycemix index.

Do you think this could be made with egg replacer? We can't do eggs and dying to make banana bread. Thanks, Tracy
Reply
Rebecca
I'm not sure cause I haven't used egg replacer before but if it's the consistency I would think it would be worth a try.

what sugar had the best flavor in your opinions?
Reply
Rebecca
I personally don't eat much sugar so I'm probably not the best person to ask. I have tried banana bread with real maple syrup and it was really good but traditionally it's made with regular, white sugar so that may be your best bet if you can tolerate it.
