1-Bowl Gluten-Free Banana Bread

Hi,
I have a question I haven’t seen here yet. The most difficult part of this recipe for me was lining the loaf pan with parchment paper. I did the best I could do, hopefully it is forgiving. Is there a reason it must be lined, or could I have just greased the pan well?

This delicious smelling banana bread is in the oven, I am looking forward to trying it.

Thanks!

Oh my – this is good!! My elder daughter and I are GF and my husband and younger daughter are definitely not!!
The girls are currently virtual schooling at home (COVID related) and I made a loaf as their breaktime treat. I used one almost rotten (quite blackened on the inside) banana and 2 medium ripe and then left out the brown sugar (so just the other sugar and maple syrup), also added a whole lot of chopped pecan nuts to the mix and a 1/2 teaspoon of xanthum gum.
The whole family loved it – there’s almost none left 2 hours after it came out of the oven!
I have tried many GF banana loaf recipes and this is by far the best. Thank you so much.

My go-to banana bread recipe since it was posted! Made again today, this time into muffins with chocolate chips and pecans.

I love the flavor of this recipe. It is a little crumbly, but I didn’t mind. It was a little heavy in the middle. I followed the baking directions in this recipe, and top got really brown at 1 hour, and it pick tested clean, so I took it out. Could have had about 15 more minutes, but I think the top would have been burned. I will try this recipe again because the flavor was so good, but would recommend lower temp for a little longer time. 325 degrees for maybe 80-90 minutes.

Merry Christmas.
My daughter and I made this and ate it all in one day. Lol. I had shared it into my AnyList app and for some reason when it transfered over it skipped adding the maple syrup to the ingredients. It also skipped the almond meal and changed the flour to 2 cups gf flour blend and 1.5 cups oats.
I only noticed this once I had added all the ingredients and it was already in the oven of course. Haha.
Still tasted great.

No changes necessary here, but I did add toasted walnuts and yum …really awesome recipe for banana bread!

This is my favorite banana bread.
This is a recipe everyone should add to there personal favorites, regardless if you are on a gluten-free diet or not.

Great recipe, but I make muffins (12) instead of bread, and cook only about 20 minutes and use cupcake tins in the muffin pan. I substitute sugars with monk fruit and coconut sugars, make my own GF flour blend. The best part is I’ve tried substituting the bananas with a can of pumpkin and 1/2 c applesauce and add a little cloves for a pumpkin muffin, and just substituted bananas for 3/4 c applesauce, 3/4 c maple syrup, and eliminate the vanilla and 1/4 c sugar for a an apple/maple pumpkin. This is a very versatile recipe. I use the applesauce as a replacement for some of the texture of the bananas, and have tried pureed plums as well since we have a surplus crop of plums. All work well.

I made the exact recipe, except that I used half cup of coconut sugar in place of cane and brown sugar. And I used a flax egg. It came out perfectly well! It is moist, chewy, and tastes amazing. Just found my go to banana bread recipe. Thanks a lot!

I’m no baker and used some suggestions in comments. baked for about 1:03 minutes. probably could have taken it out a bit sooner to preserve some moisture and leave a bit more moist but this was rly good. just the right amount of sweetness. Kind of like a banana cornbread. Looked great! I’ll be sure to tag you

Made this with:

CHANGES:
2tsp imitation vanilla extract (figured fake stuff could use some extra)
1/2 cup amber maple syrup (athlete and not wanting all that sugar, plus figured cornmeal would help with texture)
1tbsp raw cane sugar (turbinado)- for texture/ flavor dimension?
3tsp baking powder (since people noted it could be a bit much)

SUBSTITUTIONS:
soy milk
1Cup cornmeal (had no almond meal and saw cornmeal worked. I didn’t go 1:1 as I was almost out of cornmeal and MEANT to add a bit more oats but forgot smh- luckily it worked )

Regular Bob’s unbleached all-purpose flour.
ADDITIONS:
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg (I’m Jamaican we love nutmeg!)
1/4 cup walnuts
1/4 cup semi-sweet baking chocolate chips
1/2 tsp baking soda

Made this recently and subbed coconut sugar for cane sugar and left out the brown sugar and it turned out plenty sweet for me, great texture still and delish!

OMG – in a word – swoon. When I realized over 10 years ago I had to be gluten free (was already vegan) there were few recipes out there and none like this. For my second-ever attempt at VGF baking (first was your brownies, also a hit) this was ridiculous – both easy and 100% satisfying. Tender, hearty, aromatic, if just a tad too sweet for my taste, but a cup of tea or coffee and a little smear of vegan margarine for saltiness – perfection.
Would use a bit less sugar and a lot more cinnamon next time but that means there’ll BE a next time.
Your website rocks. Thank you! Always stuck to savory recipes before but thanks to you, I’ll be branching out.
It’s loading a lot slower now, with ads and videos, on my phone but I’m glad you’re monetizing. You’re worth it and so is the wait for a page to load.

I have used this recipe probably about 20 times now. I love it, thank you! My daughter has celiac disease and also has a tree nut, egg, and dairy allergy so I use this recipe and make a few changes based on what she can and can’t have. Turns out great every time!

This is the go-to banana bread in our house – dense/hearty, decadent, and so delicious! I make it ALL the time and have perfected it for our tastes/weird oven quirks by making 2 tweaks;

– With the oats, I like to put in 1/4 cup as-is then take the 1 cup and blend it in my Ninja so it’s more like a flour than full oats

– We cook the loaf for at least 1 hour and 15min – sometimes even 5-10 more minutes so it’s not still mushy in the middle. I’ll finish it off with a 5min broil to get the top a little more brown and crispy :)

Thank you SO much for this amazing gf/df recipe!!

Best banana bread recipe eve!! Just kept out the sugar and substitute for 1/2 cup of Maple syrup. Just saying this recipe become my family favourites! Thank you 😊

Another yummy recipe! I made this and am enjoying eating it. Thanks! I recommend making it!

This recipe really is wonderful.
I made it several times until now, but used whole wheat. Now I have to avoid gluten, so I tried to really follow the steps as suggested this time and it’s the best banana bread I made till now!

I made the GF flour mix just as instructed (but subbed white rice with buckwheat flour), replaced all sugar with coconut sugar (and decreased the quantity). Since I am not supposed to eat oats until my gut heals, I replaced them with coconut flakes. I added some walnuts too. So in the end a mix between this recipe and the other GF banana bread :-) loving the result! Delicious and (semi-)healthy ;-)

I had an over abundance of very ripe bananas since my 21 year old daughter decided to stop making smoothies which led me to this fantastic recipe! Oh my goodness this is good! My non-gluten free friend and her family loved it too! My other friend enjoyed it so much she made muffins with the recipe but using coconut sugar instead. As soon as the last slice was gone, I made another loaf with the last of the bananas! My daughter and I each had a slice this morning for breakfast and are so well pleased! Thank you!

I made two batches of this today, one as an upside down rum banana bread and one with a “streusel” type in the center and on top- both turned out SO DREAMY. The changes I made:

Didn’t add vanilla (did not have any)
Subbed 1/2 of the almond milk with rum
Used King Arthur flour blend as that is what I had on hand

Highly recommend turning this into rum banana bread as I did and topping it with a yummy rum glaze. Thank you!!

I didn’t have GF flour blend when I made this, so I used 1.5 cups almond flour, 1 cup coconut flour, and the 1.25 cups oatmeal. It came out pretty good. Not the very best texture, but in a pinch, it worked. The taste was very nice.

Pretty frigging dope banana bread. Should have let it cool more before butting but to be fair it does say that in the recipe, so I guess read it all the way through before you start.

This was a triumph! Thank you for the great recipe. Xxx
Modifications below:
4 ripe bananas (I added an extra one)
1/2 tsp freshly ground nutmeg (in addition to the cinnamon)
1/4 cup organic coconut sugar instead of cane sugar (in addition to the 1/4 cup packed organic brown sugar, but skipped the maple syrup, it was plenty sweet without it)
Baked in just under an hour in a loaf tin.
Delicious!

I made this today as I wanted a quick morning tea, had to adjust some of the ingredients as I didn’t have enough almond meal made up and no GF flour so I substituted some coconut flour. Also left out the maple syrup and would probably leave out a bit more sugar next time. As I wanted it to cook quickly I used my 12 cupcake pan and only took about 20-25 minutes. Really moist and delicious.

I made this recipe and absolutely loved it. I was looking for a healthy, low sugar, dairy free recipe so adapted this slightly :
– I only added slightly less than 1/4 cup brown sugar and added a 4th banana for sweetness (no other types of sweetener) and it tasted great
– I’m not gluten free so added a mix of half whole flour and whole wheat flour instead of gluten free flour
– I didn’t have any almond meal so subbed it by corn meal, which turned out great

Definitely a keeper, thank you!

I’m just diving into the gluten-free cooking and this bread was absolutely delicious! I added some walnuts and dried cranberries, and since I didn’t have almond meal, used almond flour, and it was just fine. I’m thrilled! Thank you!

I made these into vegan cupcakes by using 3T of aquafaba slightly frothed instead of egg. Often my attempts for gf quick breads turn out gummy and too dense, so I did cupcakes baked for 28 minutes. They are really nice and tasty. I absolutely HATE banana bread and muffins…HATE!!! These are actually good. I think the oats add a lot to the texture and flavor. They seem balanced and not so sickly sweet and banana-y. Thanks for the share, these are making it to the favorites list.

This only needed to bake about 55 minutes for me, and it’s perfectly cooked.

This isn’t overly moist like some banana bread but has a really lovely texture with the almond meal and oats. I think it would have made good muffins, too.

Another great, healthy-ish twist from Minimalist Baker. Thanks!

I’ve made this recipe dozens of times for the last several years, it’s so good I keep coming back to it!

A few observations/tweaks I’ve loved:
1. In my experience you can’t have too many bananas. I usually do 4-5, then skip the maple syrup and regular sugar (but keep the brown sugar).
2. A few times I’ve been light on banana supply (only 1-2 good ripe ones), and subbed with some applesauce. Not as tasty if you’ve had the original, but works in a pinch.
3. A bit of nutmeg (if you have it around) adds a nice flavor.
4. I don’t think the recipe is fully complete without chocolate 😆I usually throw in 1/4-1/2 dark cup chocolate chips as a last step, and lightly mix.

Thank you Dana for this great foolproof recipe!!

SUPER EASY & DELICIOUS!!! Thank you for sharing!

I accidentally used potato flour rather than potato starch but it still came out great! I only added 3 tbsp coconut sugar and 3 tbsp maple syrup it was YUM- yet another win Dana!

Great recipe! Baked 60 minutes and it came out great. I added dark chocolate chips on the top which made the kids want to eat it. I left out the white sugar and only used the brown sugar and maple syrup. I will be making this again, it was delicious!

Thank you for this recipe. I planned to make this for breakfast, but I was too hungry to wait for banana bread. I made muffins to cut down on the baking time. I know that a responsible adult will check that they have all the ingredients before starting a recipe, but apparently that’s not me. When I was almost ready to put them into the muffin cups, I saw that it called for oats, which I had run out of. I just added some pecans, and hemp to add a bit more bulk. It made 18 small/medium sized muffins and they were great. I baked them for 24 minutes, which I’d say was about perfect.

Hello There….

I just made the banana bread, and since I only had buckwheat flour, I used that (being gluten free). And as I’m not much of a baker, couldn’t locate loaf pan, so made it in another kind of square pan. WELL it was delicious and I just wanted you to know that buckwheat flour works really well. In the smaller pan, I only cooked it for 50 minutes and it was almost too long. BUT it is insanely good. I also cut the sugar as I’m more of a salty than a sweet and it is super tasty. Thank you again for another great recipe!

I made this and it turned out perfectly. I didn’t have the gluten free flour blend so what I used was:
– 1 cup of plain flour
– 1/4 cup of tapioca flour
– 1/4 cup of white rice flour (I ground up the rice myself)

I also only used 1/4 cup of Natvia based on the other comments saying that the recipe was a bit too sweet.

I’ve made this recipe multiple times and it always turns out great! I’m allergic to eggs, so do a flax egg instead, and works fine! I’ve shared the bread with someone who also totally loved it. I like the texture and consistency, unlike most things I bake without eggs come out as pancakes! I made this recipe again last night and only had 2 bananas on hand, not 3, so I made the recipe with 2/3 proportions and it ended up being just the right amount to make 12 muffins! I baked them about 40 or 45 minutes and they are great! -definitely let them cool all the way before you try and take the wrapper off though. Thanks for the lovely recipes!!!

This was sooo good, and turned out perfectly moist. I did not have almond meal on hand, so I used oat bran (Bob’s Red Mill) and it was just fine. In the future, I will add chocolate chips or walnuts ;)

THE ABSOLUTE BEST. I’ve been making this recipe for 2+ years. I halve it and bake it in my 8″ skillet. I omit the sugar and have taken liberties swapping the GF flour blend for various other GF flours: buckwheat, oat, sorghum. It always turns out great. I’ve measured to the gram, not measured, forgotten ingredients, used the full amount of ingredients (instead of half) always turns out great. it’s a literal no fail. I love it so much I baked it last night for my birthday breakfast “cake” today. THANK YOU MB!!!

Here are my half-recipe modifications:

1 full egg
2.5 tsp baking powder
3 tbs maple syrup
No sugar
3 tbs almond milk
2 tbs coco oil
Half cup each GF flour, almond flour, oats

I made this for the first time tonight after craving banana bread and a little something sweet. This recipe hit all the spots. I didn’t follow the recipe exactly, tailoring it to my taste. I doubled the vanilla, used more 1/4 more almond flour (not meal) and 1/4 less gf flour. I did use sprouted oats which is coarser. This was solved by blending all the ingredients. Created a smooth texture. (Didn’t blend all the way for a more textured blend). My family loved it! Everyone got seconds. My one nephew said it was the best bread he has ever eaten! My new crowd pleaser!

wow! I grew up making banana bread with my mom all my life and it is dear to my heart. I have tried a lot of recipes – ones with yogurt to make it “moist”, chocolate chips to sweeten because something was lacking etc. But this is the best recipe I’ve made – I’ve been vegan, gluten free for a few years now and I said I wouldn’t be able to bake as successfully but I was wrong. And this recipe is just so much healthier! I have tried to stop using brown sugar because I read it’s just white sugar with molasses and while molasses has health benefits it’s still white sugar so I did 1/2 cup cane sugar and omitted brown sugar and being vegan I used the flax egg instead of chicken egg.

Honestly I looove nuts in these recipes but I didn’t have walnuts or pecans but I bet they’d be soo good in here too.

Seriously delicious – when I made it last time for the first time (only a few weeks ago) I couldn’t help but eat 2-3 slices a day it was so good. This time I’m going to slice and freeze half for later.

The most amazing Gluten free Banana bread I have ever had. Very easy 4o bake and Its is so tasty it’s unbelievable. Thank you so much for this great recipe 🙌 🙌🙌🙌

My search for a great gluten free banana bread is over! This is it. Previous attempts were dry or dense, but not this recipe. I think if I didn’t tell anyone, they’d never even know this is gluten free. I added walnuts and a few chocolate chips, and used Cup4Cup GF flour. Mine took exactly 1 hour to bake. This recipe is definitely a keeper!

Can you make muffins instead? If so how long do you bake them for?

Ok. I am someone who doesn’t like banana bread. Not even the most decadent sounding recipes. But this! This was so good. I actually made it for my in laws who are gf- we certainly are not. But this will actually be my go to! I did add coconut and lessen the gf flour blend.

These are so yummy! I made them into muffins, using AP flour, 4 bananas, and no sugar, and they fabulous! As others have mentioned, I think if your bananas are pretty ripe, you really don’t need the extra sugar. I also used a food processor to create a pretty course almond meal – the muffins have the most delicious crunch <3 Thanks for such a delish recipe!

Delicious recipe.
Followed almost exact. Just 1/2 cup regular whole milk used. And batter was like in ur video.
Thanks so much.
Smothered with natural peanut butter.
I recommend toasting it in a sandwich press (like cafes do 😋)

Thank you for the recipe. I have tried out many banana bread recipes in the past, this is going to be my new favourite one. Though, I made a couple of adjustments… I didn’t make it gluten free, so used white whole wheat flour instead. I didn’t have almond meal and replaced it with some oat and flour instead (not to the full amount though). Added 1/2 tsp baking soda and reduced baking powder to 3 tsp. I left out the cane sugar and halved the maple syrup and it was plenty sweet already. Finally, I also reduced the liquid to half a cup almond milk. Altogether, they turned out brilliantly. Can’t praise enough, thanks for the inspiration and recipe.

I made this today using King Arthur Gluten-Free All Purpose Flour and it came out perfectly fine. Lovely texture and sweet. I guess my oven is hot as it only took 65 minutes. I used to have multiple non-gluten flours in my pantry. Not anymore. I have only King Arthur and Better Batter. Sure simplifies life.

This is everything I want banana bread to be- super easy, moist, sweet but not too sweet, and with a great texture (especially for a gluten free treat!)
Ce
I had to sub almond flour for almond meal and it worked great. I also added a third cup chocolate chops and a third cup of walnuts and it still held up really well.

Hi Dana!
Just wanted to let you know that I’ve swapped out about 7 different pureed fruit or veggies and this recipe still stands. Last week, I did pureed strawberries and chocolate chips…delicious. I have a carrot bread in the oven as I type this. This is by far the best quick bread recipe I’ve ever made and can serve as an awesome template for other flavor variations! Thank you for your work on this!
shea :)

While I found the bread tasty with so much banana I find the added sugar unnecessary, and making the bread far less healthy than it could be.

I just made this and it is fabulous! I have celiac and am always thrilled when one of my treats turns out this well. I’ve wasted a lot of expensive ingredients over the years on so-so and yuk but not this time. I will absolutely serve this to guests who can eat gluten. I made mine with the almond meal, gluten free flour and oats included a real egg and cow’s milk rather than the other options. Easy to make and really yummy. The only problem I have is not eating more every time I pass the kitchen.

Super good!

Easy to make. Great consistency, but much too sweet. Next time I make it I will try using 3 Tbl. of cane sugar and 3 Tbl. of brown sugar and hope that doesn’t change the texture too much. (I used the smaller amount of maple syrup). It took 1 hour and 5 minutes to bake, which is within the range given in the instructions. We live at 5,000 feet so the extra time might have been the altitude or an inaccurate oven thermometer. I did use Bob’s Red Mill 1:1 baking flour. I have lots of GF flours, but did not have brown rice flour, so I couldn’t make the DIY GF flour blend recommended in the recipe.

Great, Gluten Free dessert.some of my in-laws have Celiac disease and absolutely cannot eat Gluten. This was refreshing with the oats, maple syrup (I also used half Honey), Coconut oil and Almond milk. Hearty and tasty!

THE ABSOLUTE BEST BANANA BREAD I HAVE EVER HAD AND MADE!
I will never make another.

Added 1/2 cup on chocolate chips and a handful of walnuts just bc!

Used Bob’s Red Mill GF All Purpose Baking Flour and Anthony’s Blanched Almond Flour. Ovens vary, mine cooked in 65 minutes.

It is truly a perfect recipe.

I have made this numerous times during quarantine and it’s a house favorite every time! My boyfriend will almost finish the whole loaf in one day! I sub coconut sugar (no cane or brown sugar) and it tastes great! Thank you so much for this recipe!!

I made the recipe but did not have GF flour so I used coconut. Here is how I altered based on other comments. I used 3 bananas (312g). If I had more, I would have used a fourth. I subbed 1.25 c of GF with 1 c of coconut flour. It was an incredibly thick batter and I got nervous so I added 1/4 c almond milk (1 cup total). It still seemed very thick so I added an individual serving of applesauce (4 oz). It cooked for 70 minutes but next time I will try 65. It was dense which I love and moist. I let it sit overnight before slicing and it held it’s shape together pretty well.

Great recipe! I had 5 bananas so I doubled the recipe and ended up with two smaller bread loaves plus 12 muffins. Also, used Pamela’s baking mix as I didn’t have enough all purpose GF flour. This is a keeper!

I am allergic to wheat and my daughter is allergic to almonds, so I used rice milk and gluten free flour in place of the almond meal. It tasted great, especially with butter. Thanks for the recipe!

AWESOME and easy.
Made several times. Added raw walnuts to the batter.

This turned out amazing!

I made a few changes. I used wholemeal spelt flour instead of gluten free. However I doubled it in size, and opted out the oats and 1 cup of the almond flour as I only had a quarter cup left. So in total I used 2 and 1/4 cups spelt and 1/4 almond flour.
I also used flaxseed instead of eggs. Olive oil instead of avocado and I used rapadura sugar because that’s what I had in hand.

In the end it turned out nice and fluffy, the perfect banana bread.

Thanks dana for your amazing recipes. Although I don’t follow the recipe completely, it acts as a good guide when baking and never fails to impress me.

This was mush inside so cooked longer and burned in too but still mush inside terrible

My loaf came out super moist! My bananas were very ripe and I followed the recipe exactly and it was perfect! My entire family loved it. Definitely will be making it again. I read the review where someone added a topping. That would put it even more over the top!

Delicious! We added some chocolate chips as well for an extra treat. For the GF flour I used a blend of cloud 9 and trader joes gf flour and it worked out great.

My go to banana bread/muffin recipe! Have made with both egg and chia egg and both turn out great. Baked muffins for roughly 25 min.

Thank you for sharing this recipe. I am vegan and now currently doing an elimination diet. Thus far, gf breads have been awful-no taste, dense and dry. But this recipe was such a pleasant surprise! Banana bread is a staple for me so I am so glad I came across this recipe. The taste and texture are really lovely. I will be making this again. FYI, I made a few changes: I didn’t weigh the bananas and probably used closer to 4. I increased to 1 tsp of cinnamon, used an egg substitute and coconut syrup instead of maple. I am excited about your gf flour blend so I can try other recipes!
YUMMY!!

Just made these as muffins with a crispy cinnamon granola topping on them (minus the almond meal tree nut allergy) soo good!

I have made a lot of GF banana bread recipes and this one is my favorite yet! I actually didn’t even have the flour blend so I subbed 1 cup oat flour + 1/4 cup flaxseed and it still turned out great. Thank you, Dana!

Made it today, turned out perfect.

Hi, this recipe is so wrong! Too much flour! My batter did not pour! It was thick and disgusting. I think the measurements on this site are wrong! Dry and crumbly bread. What a waste of time and ingredients. Please check the recipe amounts for the dry ingredients.

Hello, I made this banana bread today and it turned out very tasty! The only problem was that it did not cook in the middle, even though it passed the toothpick test. It was like pudding in the center. I baked it for 1 hour 15, and it was starting to get too brown/burned on top. I followed the recipe, using Bob’s Red Mill 1 to 1 baking flour, almond flour, and oats. I did add a splash more almond milk than the recipe stated, because the batter looked extremely thick to me (I am used to baking with wheat flour). I feel that adding the splash of extra almond milk was probably the problem. Perhaps in your instructions you could add a description of the consistency that the batter should have (i.e., thick), so that we who are new to GF baking will know not to make it like a wheat flour batter. I will try it again with less moisture. Thanks for the recipe!

Made it and added some dark chocolate chunks; delicious! Hearty, just sweet enough and beautiful texture!

I made this banana bread today, using a flaxegg and soymilk, also added walnuts and it tasted like heaven! Can’t believe I haven’t tried this before, definitely will do it again! Thank you for this lovely recipe!

Excellent recipe, I added 1 C of dark chips because duh!
Cuts well, nice texture. I will make this again!!

I tried to make this this morning and for some reason after 1 1/2 hours my bread was still dough and uncooked. I am using a convection oven. Is there anything specific that would cause this?

I just made this yesterday and LOVED it. The only thing I added was 1 cup of walnuts. This was delicious and is now my favorite banana bread recipe. Dense, full of flavor, and a lot of texture (not mushy like some paleo banana breads.) The oats really added to the texture. I used gluten free rolled oats, because that is all I had. Thank you for a great recipe!

This was good! I think we needed a little more sweetness, but overall it was very tasty. I’m new to gluten free baking, and my husband has complained about the texture of things I’ve tried. This bread was almost the texture of banana bread full of gluten!

I think I see where this recipe was going! I liked all the ingredients, but as I suspected this was a bit too dry/floury for me. I substituted only 3/4 c flax meal for the 1.25 c almond meal being allergic to almonds. I also added brown rice syrup instead of maple syrup (3tbsp), and cooked for the shorter end of the time suggested. It was just sweet enough for myself, but for baked goods fans I would add more. I was surprised at the result of both of these modifications since I’m at altitude and you’re usually supposed to increase the flour and temp a tad and decrease the sugar a tad.
The number of bananas req’d was on point, as well as the oats. I’d probably play around with adding a little more moisture next time!

This was sooo good ! I make banana bread all the time and this one is now my fav!

I’ve made this a few times and I find that I’m having the same issues as others- beautiful outside and mushy inside!!!

I added chocolate chunks and have made this twice now! Once as a loaf and once as muffins. SO FREAKIN’ GOOD!!

This gluten free banana bread is SO delicious!!!
I made once without the right ingredients and it came out just okay.
I gave it a second chance this weekend with all the right ingredients and voila!!
Best banana bread ever, even better than Starb$$ banana bread.
I will be making this very often for sure :)

If you’re thinking about making this. Do! You are going to LOVE this banana bread! Made it as is, except used a local stores home made gluten free flour. It’s delicious, not dry, AND has the perfect balance of sweetness. Will definitely make it again!

This was incredible. I subbed the gf flour for oat flour and it turned out beautifully. I think I had a slightly higher banana to flour ratio so that might have helped. Super moist on the inside and firm golden crust. Used Flax egg and added chopped dark chocolate and a layer of pumpkin seeds on top. Thank you so much, all your recipes are such winners!!

I made this with a few substitutions and it turned out wonderful. I made this into 15 muffins instead of bread and baked for 30-35min on 350.
Also, I used all brown sugar (1/2c) and 4 tablespoons slightly whipped aquafaba as the egg (i chilled it for a few minutes before hand whisking and adding it in).
I used Bob’s GF blend and added 1.5 tsps arrowroot powder to help with binding.
I read in a gf cookbook that letting gf muffins rest can help, so I tested it out, the first batch (that didnt rest) was a little less moist than the second two (which did rest) all three were great though!
I also added some chocolate chips and they worked great!

I added chocolate chunks and have made this twice now! Once as a loaf and once as muffins. SO FREAKIN’ GOOD!!

This turned out amazing; thank you so much!
I didn’t have almond meal, so I substituted one cup flaxseed meal. I also didn’t have a gluten free flour blend, so I used 3/4 cup oat flour and 1/4 cup coconut flour. I baked it for 1h 15m and it came out perfectly cooked.

I realized at the very end of the recipe that the recipe called for “gluten free flour blend”. I don’t have any rice flours. I subbed more almond flour and some tapioca flour. Hopefully it turns out. It’s in the oven now. I’ll report back.

yum! even more grateful for you guys during this crazy time. made this with just the almond meal & gfree flour since i can’t have oats. oh i also used cane & coconut sugar since that’s what i had. also made muffins instead of a loaf! cut the baking time about in half & made basically a dozen (i’ll have like 2 extra since my first batch was kinda small) great on their own but excited to warm back up w a little butter this week (:

This is the first time I’ve made gluten free banana bread and it turned out wonderfully! I used Bob’s Red Mill 1-1 baking flour, skipped the brown sugar, and replaced the oil with extra almond milk. Baked for 1 hour 20 minutes. It turned out very moist and a nice, mild level of sweetness, we didn’t miss the oil or brown sugar at all. Very quick and easy recipe.

This tasted awesome! Thank you for the recipe! I liked how it stayed moist. I used 4 bananas instead of 3 because I had too many ripe bananas lol and I added 2 eggs instead of 1 by mistake. I also used normal dairy milk. I didn’t add any sugar, I only had around 2 tbsp of maple left at home, and added around 2 tbsp of honey. I think I would have even liked it a tiny bit less sweet, maybe the overripe bananas were the culprits for the extra sweetness.

I followed the recipe perfectly, but found the result a bit crumbly and not very flavorful…

Wow. My last attempt at banana bread was a bust (very wet) but this one turned out great!
My changes (and listed mostly as a future reference for me) were:
I used a flax egg (linseed is flax right?)
I used 3 bananas that might have been bigger than medium.
I used pumpkin seed oil which I was worried about because it’s not a high temp oil ( didn’t realise till after I added it)
I only put in 1tbsp of maple syrup as I was worried about it being too moist with the size of the bananas.
I used linseed meal (perhaps a bit bitter) in place of almond meal and normal plain flour instead of gluten free (maybe a hair less than 1 1/4 cup). And quick oats instead of normal oats.
Lots of changes due to only having what I used available, which made me more nervous, but I trusted my gut on what I did and it turned out great!

Thanks!

Banana bread has always been comfort food for me. With all the chaos in the world right now, I’ve made this recipe twice in the last week. ?
I’ve tried so many banana bread recipes (vegan/GF and non vegan/GF) and this one is hands down my favorite!
I used flax egg, subbed cane sugar for date sugar just because that’s what I had, and only added about 1/4 tsp salt. I didn’t measure the maple syrup but would guess I added 1/2 tbls since my bananas were super black (this is key!). I also added frozen blueberries right at the end. It does take a long time to bake but it’s so worth it.
Pro tip: heat up the banana bread on a skillet using a generous amount of vegan butter, flip to get both sides crispy, then top with flakey sea salt. And if you’ve got a real sweet tooth, add a drizzle of maple syrup. Amazing!

I used almond oil instead of avocado oil, and I only had two ripe bananas, but still eneded up with delicious, moist, fluffy banana bread. I loved that I could mix it by hand in one bowl – it made clean up so easy! Nipa

Excellent moist banana bread. Thanks!

I made this the other day and it was AMAZING! I wasn’t able to make it true to the recipe so it didn’t come out exactly right, but I want to try it again with the correct ingredients because I imagine then it will be absolute perfection.
I was missing almond meal so I blitzed up some mixed nut meal out of a raw nut mixture I had in the cupboard, and I only had quick-oats, not rolled oats. The product of this was muffins that took a VERY long time to cook and still came out just a smidge too moist in the center.
They were still delicious and awesome; my mother in law (who is not GF) has been BEGGING me to make them again. If they’re this good done “wrong”, I can’t wait to see what happens when I have the right nut flour and oats!! :)

OMG, so good! My bananas were very ripe and more than called for (427 g vs 337 g), left out the brown sugar, used orange extract, the upper value of maple syrup and used the melted coconut oil. The coconut oil solidified in chunks after adding the mylk so I microwaved for a bit. Make sure everything is warm or room temp if using coconut oil. The bread was very sweet in spite of no brown sugar and the orange extract made no appreciable difference. YUM!

SO YUMMY!! I did a few things different though!

I used brown rice flour instead of gluten free bread and instead of almond meal, I just added an extra cup of instant oats (not ground). I also added broken up pieces of pecans and topped with slices of bananas. It was outstanding! Super yummy. Only added 1 tbsp of maple syrup. ❤️❤️❤️ I wish I could upload a photo because they’re beautiful! I made one for me and my roommate and 1 for my boyfriend using the tiny aluminum bread pans from the store and they were perfectly portioned.
