{Gluten Free} Banana Bread

This banana bread is moist, simple to make and delicious- all while being gluten free, dairy free and refined sugar free! 


Banana Bread reminds me of being a little girl and going to my grandma’s house. She ALWAYS had some in her freezer!- That’s what’s so great about it- it freezes well and tastes just as good!

I also love that banana bread is so versatile- you can easily add in nuts, chocolate chips, raisins, etc to enhance this simple recipe. 

A few notes about this Banana Bread. Since I specifically made it for a breakfast bread, I wanted it “healthier” and not very sweet. In this recipe, I used olive oil (my grandma always used it in baking- not sure if it’s a Greek thing or just her thing!). You can easily sub out the olive oil for coconut oil, vegetable oil, or melted butter. 

Also, I used coconut sugar but you can also sub in cane sugar if you prefer- also feel free to increase the amount if you prefer sweeter (I’d say ¾ cup-1 cup).

When baking gluten free, if you can eat dairy I always recommend Cup 4 Cup flour (it contains milk) OR if you’re dairy free I recommend using Better Batter GF flour
