Banana Bread Recipe No Sugar Gluten Free

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.

No

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!

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.

Banana Bread (gluten Free Dairy Free)

*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.

No Added Sugar Banana Bread

What makes my lovely banana bread gluten free, grain free, and lower in carbohydrates is the alternative flour blend.  While normal flour is derived from wheat, almond flour and coconut flour are exactly what they sound like. If you’ve never heard of these flours, or aren’t sure where to get them, you can easily make them yourself at home in no time.

To make almond flour I suggest you check out Gemma’s recipe for Homemade Almond Flour or ground almonds. Making your own coconut flour is the same process as making the almond flour: you simply blitz up dried unsweetened coconut flakes into a fine powder (or flour). This is best done in a food processor, but can be managed in small amounts in your blender. These flours are a staple in alternative baking and I always have them on hand.

In addition to being low in carbs and gluten-free, this banana bread is made with no added sugar. While this recipe is sweetened by the ripe bananas, it also uses one of my favorite alternative ingredients: Lakanto brand maple syrup.

This is a zero sugar liquid sweetener derived from monk fruit and erythritol. If you can’t find this, you can absolutely use another brand of sugar free maple syrup or regular maple syrup. I prefer to use this brand as it’s 100% natural, non-GMO, and vegan. I like to use this because it keeps the bread super moist and also adds that classic sweet maple flavor without all the added sugar.

So you might be wondering with all of these alternative ingredients what is the texture of this Gluten-Free Banana Bread like? Well, if you’ve ever baked with coconut or almond flour before you know they actually lend themselves to a super moist texture and lovely cake-like chew. You lose nothing by using these special ingredients — but you gain fiber, protein, and a bit of healthy fat without having to think about the sugar content.

While I love the combination of walnuts and banana you can add in any nuts you like. Other yummy additions are chocolate chips, coconut flakes, or dried fruit! Feel free to play with this recipe and make it your own.
