Gluten Free Banana Bread
Gluten-Free Banana Bread is what we crave for an easy and rich sweet tooth satisfaction. This is one of our favorite desserts to make, because it is super simple to prepare, and is very satisfying. Also, the ingredients for this scrumptious, hearty bread begin with three overripe bananas. Then, you add some eggs, vanilla and the secret ingredient is es[resso powder, which brings out the amazing chocolate flavor.
To sweeten things up a bit we use brown sugar for a deep caramel flavor. To make it healthier you can use honey, maple syrup, or a mix of both. Also, brown sugar works well here and gives this dish a nice flavor and texture. Instead of regular flour, we go with gluten-free flour. Similarly, you could use coconut or almond flour, or a mix of both.
This recipe is super delicious and will fit everyone, not just those that are trying to eat gluten-free. It is moist, dense, and loaded with banana. When taken out of the oven, your room will be filled with an amazing banana aroma. Just give it a try, it is truly delicious comfort food at its best!
If you are looking for a berry-filled dessert, try this lemon blueberry banana bread and make it with gluten-free flour.
Is the gluten-free banana bread texture different from the regular one?
The short answer is not. This bread is just as moist and delicious as the regular one because the use of banana gives it a nice and tender texture. Just because you are using gluten-free flour, it doe not mean the recipe will change much.
Also, you can use a mixture of coconut or almond flour, as they result in a super moist dessert with a chewy texture. You lose nothing by using these special ingredients. However, you gain fiber, protein, and a bit of healthy fat without having to think about the sugar content.

- Transfer batter into the prepared loaf pan and add more chocolate chips on top.
