Wheat Free Banana Bread

Published: Feb 3, 2011 · Updated: Nov 14, 2020 by Kristi Winkels, RDN, LD · This post may contain affiliate links · Leave a Comment

With this wheat free banana bread in your recipe collection, you won't have to wonder what to do with those ripe bananas on your countertop! This recipe is wheat and gluten-free as well as free of dairy, egg, soy, peanuts, and tree nuts.

Wheat Free Banana BreadMy youngest son loves to bake. This is a good thing because people, especially those with food allergies, need to know how to cook and bake. This banana bread recipe might be the first recipe he made by himself. It really is pretty easy to put together and he was motivated to do it because it tastes good and he likes his treats!

Whenever we have a few browning bananas on the counter, he is eyeing them up and planning to make another batch of this banana bread. He really likes to add the "optional" mini chocolate chips (what's not to love about that?)

Wheat Free Banana Bread Three Ways

Muffins

Even though the recipe is called "banana bread" we most often make this into muffins. They bake quicker (15-20 minutes) and are easier to freeze in individual servings.

This recipe makes about 1 dozen muffins. We usually make a double batch because they don't last long around here!

Mini Loaves

Mini loaves are so cute! And, being mini, they bake up pretty quickly, too. If you're looking for a food gift to give someone with gluten intolerance, egg allergy, etc. mini loaves of banana bread work well. Bake in disposable aluminum loaf pans and after they've cooled, wrap them in a cellophane bag with a pretty ribbon.

Regular-Sized Loaves

This is what you might picture when you picture banana bread! A larger loaf needs to bake for 50 minutes to an hour so not the best option if you're in a hurry. This recipe will make one large loaf.

Here are the allergy-friendly substitutes I use for this recipe:

Flax "eggs"

Bob's Red Mill gluten-free all-purpose flour
