Healthy, Gluten-Free Banana Bread Recipe
So in the midst of this pandemic that we are all currently going through, there seems to be a new craze for cooking banana bread whilst we all endure lockdown at home and I couldn’t resist jumping on the bandwaggon after a few yummy, drool-worthy, Instagram photos of my friends banana bread efforts popped up!
As a long-term IBS sufferer, gluten-intolerant, I needed to find a recipe that would not upset my stomach! So after digging around on the web, and then realising that I only had part of the ingredients for one recipe and half the ingredients for another I decided to improvise and throw together my own mix!
This healthy gluten-free banana bread recipe is free from refined sugars, contains no additives and is practically one of your five-a-day!
How to make my gluten-free Banana Bread
Ingredients:
- 3 ripe bananas 2 mashed, 1 sliced for toppings
- 85g almond flour
- 10g coconut flakes
- 15g gluten-free oats
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 eggs
- 71g organic maple syrup, maple syrup or honey
Optional extra:
- 43g pecans or walnuts
Cooking Method:
Cooking my gluten-free banana bread is as easy as 1,2,3 with this quick, throw in a bowl, the recipe I have created from adapting other recipes to suit what I had in the house!
1. Mashup 2 bananas in a bowl & line a baking tin with greaseproof paper
2. Add all other ingredients to the bowl and stir well until you have a smooth batter consistency (I left my food processor churning round for around 5-10mins)
3. Pour batter into the lined tray, top with thinly sliced bananas (using your third banana) and cook for 30-35 mins at 180ºC Fan Oven in the centre of the oven.
Topping ideas:
- Drizzled dark chocolate
- Peanut butter
- Sugar-free coffee icing, drizzled
