Gluten Free Banana Nut Bread

Since Kolton needs to eat gluten free I often feel bad baking our regular treats, and thus don’t bake at all. Problem is, I enjoy baking. So I’ve been trying to learn how to better bake with gluten free flours. Gluten free banana nut bread is my latest accomplishment.

We love almond flour but it’s so pricey that I don’t like to buy it often. Coconut flour is my next favorite, but it’s very high in fiber and well… let’s just say that high fiber foods and a toddler in underwear don’t exactly mix!

I decided to try a bag of all purpose gluten free flour and see if that helped me any. It was supposed to be a 1:1 substitute for regular flour but I’m not quite convinced as a few tweaks were needed so the dough seemed the right consistency.

The end result though is great, and it actually has the same texture and even taste as a wheat banana bread! Needless to say, I’m pleased with the results. Best of all, Kolton loves it and he has a treat he can eat!

    This morning I tried an easy banana oat muffins. It uses quick oats ground into flour. It’s a recipe I plan to keep making. http://www.chelseasmessyapron.com/flourless-greek-yogurt-banana-oat-muffins/

    It looks very tasty. I cook some for a few GF, and some DF family. GF flours can be tricky.

    Can the gluten free flour simply be replaced with regular flour if you don’t need it or will that change the recipe dramatically?

      I’m sorry for the delayed response.
      I’m not sure how it would turn out to replace the gluten free flour with wheat flour. The original recipe called for wheat flour and I had to do a bit of tweaking to the ingredients when I made the recipe gluten free.

    I made this tonight for my daughter who is GF. Was delish! I substituted the coconut oil with cinnamon applesauce and added more cinnamon for flavor. Also did not use nuts due her GI sensitivity. Made 1 loaf with chocolate chips and 1 without. Recipe is a keeper! 🙂 Thank you!

    i followed this recipe exactly and i’m not sure what size loaf pan you use but i use a 9 x 5 and this only made one loaf. also, 400 is WAY too hot. my bread wasn’t cooked in the middle after 55 minutes and burnt on top. the middle only got cooked after i turned the temperature down to 325. i definitely will never use this recipe again.

      Right… Gluten-free quick breads are much denser than wheat ones. Thus the reason my recipe says to put it in 2 different loaf pans.
      If you look at my photos, it’s pretty clear that I didn’t fill my loaf pan.
      Following a recipe makes all the difference sometimes.

    Made this this evening. I used coconut sugar instead of raw can sugar (because it was what I had). It was delicious. My hubby loved it, too.

      That would be amazing with coconut sugar!!! I always feel like that adds a little extra flavor kick to anything 🙂

    My mom can have gluten in Africa and Italy and some other countries, but never in America. This makes me think it has to be growing practices and pesticides. Very odd. Thank you for this recipe. I’ll pass it on to her and make it myself as well. Keep sharing with us at the Homestead Blog Hop!
