Gluten Free Banana Bread

If you have over-ripe bananas lying around you are gonna want to make this recipe! My kids absolutely LOVE banana bread but when we switched to gluten free it took me a while to figure out a recipe that would pass the kid test. Some were too dry and some didn’t set in the middle. So when I landed on this gem I knew we had a winner! The kids loved it and I loved the ingredients. The old recipe I had was loaded with sugar so I knew I wanted less sugar and more nutrients….enter this yummy bread.

I have tried and tested many gluten free flours. I find it hard to find a gluten free flour that has no added junk or fillers. I love Costco’s brand gluten free. It bakes well and isn’t too dry but even better the ingredients are pure. I highly recommend this brand.

This bread is loaded with super goodness and lots of nutrients. Give it a try and let me know what you think!
