This will be the best banana bread you have ever made. It is moist, tender and gluten. You can also make it dairy free.

Like I always say when I post a gluten free recipe, don’t discount this recipe because you aren’t gluten free.  I am sure you know at least one or two people that are gluten free and wouldn’t it be fun to take them a treat they could eat!

Best Banana Bread Recipe

I have shared with you The Best Banana Bread recipe before – it’s an old family favorite and many, many of you who have tried it agree with me that it is truly THE BEST banana bread. So moist!

So over the Christmas break I decided to try gluten free banana bread and replace the regular flour in our favorite banana bread recipe with my gluten free flour mix and it worked beautifully.  In fact you will be hard pressed to tell this bread is gluten free!

Gluten Free Banana Bread

What Gluten Free Flour Should I Use?

Last year I posted a recipe for a gluten free flour mix. The mix contains coconut flour, oat flour, rice flour, tapioca flour, xanthum gum and cornstarch. I realize that some people who are gluten free can’t have oat flour (although the brand I use is gluten free) so feel free to try this recipe with your favorite gluten free flour mix (I also like Bob’s Red Mill brand) if you aren’t able to eat everything that is in the flour mix.

The bread is light, moist and doesn’t have the grittiness that a lot of gluten free baked items do.

Can I Make it Dairy Free?

The recipe uses sour cream so if you are also dairy free (as my daughter is) you can easily substitute the sour cream with apple sauce.  I made it with apple sauce and with sour cream and they were both delicious.

How to Make Gluten Free Banana Bread

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees F
  • Grease and flour bottom only of a loaf pan (or use 3 small loaf pans)
  • In large bowl, beat together sugar and oil. Add eggs, bananas, sour cream and vanilla; blend well
  • Lightly scoop flour into measuring cup and level off with a knife.
  • Add flour, baking soda and salt; stir just until dry ingredients are moistened
  • Pour into prepared pan
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes (about 40 minutes for smaller loaf pan) or until toothpick inserted in center comes clean

    You forgot one step. The one that says “slowly stir in chocolate chips.”
