Healthy Gluten-Free Banana Bread
Healthy Gluten free banana bread with a sprinkling of festive cheer. If you fancy just making a regular banana bread but feel it isn’t festive enough then look no further than a dash of Christmas sprinkles to transform it. As well as being gluten free this banana bread is also jam packed with goodness making it perfect for a quick snack or even breakfast!
I know banana bread doesn’t really meet the Christmas bill in terms of recipes but when you just fancy something simple and are a bit sick of chocolate then this is the perfect recipe to go for. I added a few Christmas sprinkles to the top to make it a bit festive but if its any other time of year you could just add regular sprinkles for a bit of a birthday cake banana loaf!
The base of this banana bread like many I have made is using gluten free oats! I then packed it with moisture through adding eggs, cacao butter, yoghurt, maple syrup, apple puree and of course bananas!
I have many other banana breads on my page including vegan options too: Vegan Chocolate Chip Banana Bread and one of my favourites Chocolate Chip Tahini Banana Bread!
