Gluten Free Healthier Banana Bread

Today’s post is a recipe for another gluten free, healthier Banana Bread that is also free of refined sugar. I used Rice Flour in this recipe as it has a very neutral taste and it is a lot easier to bake with than coconut flour.  (The most absorbent flour known to man🙃)

Banana bread is one of those classic, comfort food recipes that fills the whole house with a delicious scent when baked.

To get the right flavour for this Gluten Free Healthier Banana Bread, you will need to use very ripe bananas – you know the ones that have lots of black speckles and are very soft to the touch.

The rule of thumb is simple – the riper the banana the better!

  • Lastly, this recipe uses coconut oil or sunflower oil, making it dairy free too

Bon Appetit friends!
