Gluten Free Banana Bread Recipe Low Sugar

You may remember my recipe for gluten free banana bread with butternut squash. It’s one of my favorites of all time. Yes, all time. But I couldn’t help but strip it down to the absolute essentials and take it back to classic banana bread land.

The ingredients for this scrumptious, hearty bread begin with three overripe bananas. Then come essentials you likely alreadyhave on hand, such as eggs (or chia/flax eggs), vanilla and coconut oil. To sweeten things up a bit more I relied on a mix of honey, cane and brown sugar for a variance of flavor and texture.

Then comes the gluten-free goodness: a mix of gluten free oats, almond meal and my favorite gluten-free flour blend (or sub other gluten-free blends with varied results). Check out our Guide to Gluten-Free Flours for more guidance!

Sugar Free Low Carb Banana Bread (nut Free, Keto, Gluten Free)

I could hardly wait to slice in, but patience is key here. You need to wait a good hour before cutting into this baby, else it will crumble and fall apart. That’s what you don’t want.

This is what you do want. A hearty loaf that holds its shape and converts even the most suspicious of eaters into gluten-free banana bread lovers. Hubba hubba.

Sugar Free Chocolate Banana Bread

*GOOD NEWS! Several people have tried this recipe vegan-ized by swapping the egg for 1 chia or flax egg and have reported that it works well! To do so, just combine 1 Tbsp chia seed or flaxseed meal with 2.5 Tbsp water, mix and let set for 5 minutes to activate. Then add to the recipe when I note to add the egg. *We recommend aluminum-free baking powder for best flavor. Brands with aluminum sometimes create a metallic taste. *Adapted from my GF Banana Butternut Squash Bread, originally adapted from TakeAMegabite. *Nutrition information is a rough estimate calculated with avocado oil and with lesser amount of maple syrup.

I love a banana bread that’s insanely moist, packed with banana flavour and a little gooey compared to a regular loaf cake. Plus, it’s gotta be super easy to make without tons of weird ingredients.

Healthy Vegan Banana Bread

Obviously, ripe banana as a must here as they contain more natural sugars and you’ll get the best results. Once mine start getting those black ripening spots, my mind always turns to banana bread!

You can of course use bananas that are smack bang in the middle of being green and being ripe (so no signs of over-ripening yet). But you won’t get that intense banana flavour and also they’re still really hard to mash.

Gluten

You can actually speed up the banana ripening process by placing them into a paper bag (or perforated plastic bag) and adding in a couple of ripe bananas or an apple. This the amount of ethylene gas circulating around the green fruit and makes them go ripe quicker.

No Sugar Banana Bread (gf Option)

Here’s some FAQs you’ll need to read to create the perfect gluten free banana bread. Keep scrolling down for the recipe, but read these first, they’re important! Can I make this recipe gluten free? Is it suitable for Coeliacs?

Bear in mind that minimising cross-contamination is hugely important if you’re Coeliac or making this for someone who is. Here’s some tips from Coeliac UK on minimising the risk of cross contamination.

Also, make sure that all ingredients used don’t have any gluten-containing ingredients. Then make that that they also don’t have a ‘may contain’ warning for gluten, wheat, rye, barley, oats (which aren’t gf), spelt and khorasan wheat (aka Kamut).

Gluten Free Banana Bread (nut Free Option)

Of course you can! All you need to do is use dairy free spread instead of butter. Plus, if you’re adding chocolate chips, make sure they’re dairy free also.

Yep! If you follow the instructions above to make this cake dairy free, then all you’ve got left to contend with is the eggs.

So use one of those egg replacement options and you’ve got gluten free AND vegan cake! I haven’t tried all of these egg-replacement options with this cake, but if you do, please comment below with how it goes.

Best Ever Coconut Flour Banana Bread

Yep, this is a nut-free recipe. But of course, make sure you check the ingredients label on all the products you use to bake this cake.

Banana

Even if the products don’t contain nuts, they may have a ‘may contain nuts’ warning due to being produced in a factory that handles nuts.

You can only eat a third of a ripe banana (33g) so if you’re in the elimination phase of the diet, you can eat a little… but I mean a little. You can eat a lot more banana if it’s unripe, but unripe bananas just aren’t as good!

Easy Gluten Free Banana Bread {dairy Free Option}

Of course you can – and it’ll save you on elbow grease! I don’t use a standing mixer or food processor to make the cake mixture personally – I use an electric whisk. Just because I’m used to it!

Just make sure you keep scraping down the sides if you’re using an electric mixer so that all the mixture gets combined properly.

Certainly not! As I mentioned, a food processor, standing mixer or electric whisk will cut down on prep time, but they’re not mandatory.

Healthy Moist Banana Bread

In short… yes! And I wouldn’t advise attempting any my recipes without them. One of the worst
