{Gluten Free} Banana Bread
This banana bread is moist, simple to make and delicious- all while being gluten free, dairy free and refined sugar free!
I also love that banana bread is so versatile- you can easily add in nuts, chocolate chips, raisins, etc to enhance this simple recipe.
A few notes about this Banana Bread. Since I specifically made it for a breakfast bread, I wanted it “healthier” and not very sweet. In this recipe, I used olive oil (my grandma always used it in baking- not sure if it’s a Greek thing or just her thing!). You can easily sub out the olive oil for coconut oil, vegetable oil, or melted butter.
Also, I used coconut sugar but you can also sub in cane sugar if you prefer- also feel free to increase the amount if you prefer sweeter (I’d say ¾ cup-1 cup).
When baking gluten free, if you can eat dairy I always recommend Cup 4 Cup flour (it contains milk) OR if you’re dairy free I recommend using Better Batter GF flour.

The calorie/nutritional numbers seem off. Who would eat 1 serving at 1950 calories?
This sounds wonderful ! I am going to give it a try . One question: Am I able to use reg sugar or light brown sugar instead of coconut sugar ?
