Easiest Wheat Free Banana Bread
Hello my friends!
I hope you are having a wonderful week! So far things have been great around here…the kids are back to school and are enjoying it so much. My youngest is off to preschool, and I’m back to a regular blogging schedule which is a relief for me. Summer was a challenge with trying to keep my blog going while at the same time taking time to enjoy the summer with my kids. But now that everyone is back to their scheduled activities, I am back at it! So things are moving along quite swimmingly. Feeling blessed.
And feeling bake-y. Is that even a word? I think not. But I’ve got my bake on and I’m loving that! With the kids back at school, I like to be able to send homemade goodies in their lunches…it makes me feel good to do that for them, and I know that they are enjoying it too! So it’s the perfect excuse to get in the kitchen and get baking!
One of our staple goodies around here is banana bread. Like it is for many of you I’m sure, banana bread is a family favourite. So when we decided to try to eat wheat free 80% of the time I had to find a recipe that worked (and this has been a challenge let me tell you…wheat free baking is hard). You may remember the Wheat Free Cinnamon Chocolate Chip Banana Bread I made previously…while it is delicious, it is a bit more work than this recipe.
This banana bread recipe is very, very simple, and has the taste and texture of regular banana bread. (I actually just tweaked my regular banana bread recipe and it worked!). Whew. I can’t even tell you how happy this makes all of us feel! 😉
And if you aren’t concerned about the wheat (you will still enjoy this recipe) I do have divine regular banana bread and muffin recipes for you to try too.

This looks so good, I love that it is wheat free too! I will have to make this for my bunch!
I hope you love it!
I’m feeling “bake-y” too, my friend. After a long blogging break, I’m back in the kitchen as well. 🙂 The boys are in school, well, Monkey only 3 hours, but he LOVES to bake.
Keep these wheat and GF coming!
Also: try my trifecta blend: 1/2 cup sorghum, 1/2 c tapioca, and 1/2 c sweet rice. It’s no fail.
Enjoy the quiet blogging time,
Nic
Thank you for the flour blend tip! I’m going to try this…I still struggle with the flours. I’m trying to make a zucchini bread with GF flour, and I just can’t seem to make it happen, but I’m going to try it with this blend! This week I’m going to try a pumpkin spice version of your GF donuts too! Yummm
Love that its so easy – pinning! Have you ever tried the babycakes cookbook? Not this easy, but the recipes are delish.
This loaf is SO easy! I haven’t tried babycakes – I’m going to have to take a look! Thanks for the tip Dani! 🙂
What temperature do you bake the banana bread at? How long? The recipe looks yummy
Hi Amy!
Bake at 350 degrees for 45-55 minutes.
Happy Baking!
Jo-Anna,
Last week, I found and made your easy wheat-free banana bread recipe (I added walnuts). I just wanted to say it was the best banana bread I have ever made, wheat-free or not! It was so delicious! I had given up hope that I would ever be able to bake anything this delicious without wheat flour. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Hi Maria! This makes me so happy! I found wheat free baking so hard, so when this loaf came out perfectly delicious I was so relieved! I’m happy you like it too!
