Banana bread is one of those treats that can please just about everyone, as long as they don't have a gluten intolerance. This gluten free banana bread is utterly delicious. It's so good even people without gluten issues choose to make in it place of regular banana bread.
We are huge bread fans in our house. Who isn't right? I think I have 10 bread recipes on our site to date, with this Gluten Free Banana Bread being a house favorite. But, my mom's Cranberry Walnut bread is a close runner up.
But we also have a gluten intolerance to work around also so it was important to me to come up with something my daughter could enjoy also without hurting her stomach.
I have finally come up with a gluten free dairy-free banana bread recipe that I think you will be really happy with !! And that's no small feat let me tell you!
How Ripe Should Your Bananas Be?
There is some debate on how brown your bananas should be. Some believe they need to be completely black with spots, while I don't believe they need to be that ripe. I prefer them when they start to get a little brown, but are easily mashed.

So delicious banana bread ,thank you
May I substitute honey for setevia? Would it be the same amount?
Strange to find a 1/4 cup of honey in a “sugar free” recipe. It’s definitely sugar, and added sugar at that.
Hi I am wondering my bread cracked on top. Did I do something wrong?
it's common for quick breads to crack on top. The important thing is how did it taste?
This was so delicious AND for my IBS tummy I did not have any bad reactions which is the first time ever for me after eating banana bread! I'm definitely going to be making this again!
Question about the nutritional numbers posted for recipe. It says Serving size : 16 slices. I’m assuming that it for the entire loaf. So I want to know is the other nutritional numbers (CALORIES 136) per slice or the entire loaf?
It's 136 calories per slice
By far the best gluten free banana bread I've made, and I've made A LOT! I've found a bakery near me that makes gluten free baked goods but the price of just one loaf of banana bread can make 4 of yours! Now I make 2 at a time and freeze one. This just makes me so happy!!!!
My favorite banana bread recipe! I love it on the griddle with a little butter!
Okay, this recipe is a winner!!! It was so delicious I had to make it twice in one week. Thank you Debi
So delicious. Usually the gluten-free breads are either too dry or feel undercooked, but this was awesome!
so glad you liked them!
Yummy! I used 1 1/1 c oat flour and 1/3 coconut flour and it turned out really well!
Hi Maryann
How much oat flour did you use? And did you use the oat and coconut flour to substitute the 2 c. flour mix in the recipe? Did you add almond flour?
Thanks. I'm excited to make this bread!

Eggs do not come from a cow 🙂
I have a nut allergy. Can i substitute the almond flour for something else
or just use all bobs redmill gluten free all purpose flour in .the recipe?
What would the flour ratio be if I used all almond flour??
I've made this twice now...
Never been dry at all! My oven is acting up, so the first time I made it, I baked it for an hour and it was just a TAD underdone. Second try, I upped it to 355 and baked it for 55 minutes and it's perfect. I used flax meal because it's what I have and hazelnut flour instead of almond meal because it's what I have on hand. PERFECT! First time I made with honey because my bananas weren't as ripe as I'd wanted; second time without because my bananas were perfect. Just sweet enough.
LOVE THIS! Thank you
Would you add anything else if you leave out the honey?
My daughters diet has to be free of all grains, will it be ok to use the gluten free flour mix and what size cup is used.
