Gluten-Free Vegan Banana Bread
I haven’t made banana bread in ages and I missed it! I whipped up my very first gluten-free vegan loaf. It does contain oil, so you could try to substitute that with apple sauce if you’re on the no oil train. Or try using half oil with apple sauce! I used an all purpose gluten-free flour and it tastes so great! I would like it to rise a little more though so I may add a little apple cider vinegar next time, thoughts? I’m usually more of a cookie monster. I added NuIt almond butter and it gave the bread the perfect creamy consistency.
This recipe is one of 50 recipes featured in my anti-inflammatory warming ebook, currently on sale too.
Ingredients
3 organic bananas (ripe, divided)
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup maple syrup
4 tbsps freshly ground flax seed (this is 2 flax eggs and 5 tbsp water)
1 tsp of true vanilla
2 cups oat flour (old fashioned oats ground in blender)
1/2 cup gluten free mixed 1:1 flour
1 tsp baking powder, aluminum free
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp sea salt
1 tsp of true cinnamon
option to add chocolate chips
Directions
Preheat your oven to 350ºF (177ºC) and brush a loaf pan with some oil to prevent sticking or add parchment paper
In a large bowl, mash all but one of the bananas. Stir in the olive oil, maple syrup, and vanilla. Make 2 flax eggs, let sit then stir in.
In a small bowl, mix together the gluten-free flour, baking powder and sea salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix until well combined.
Pour the batter into your loaf pan. Slice the remaining banana in half length-wise and place both halves on top of the loaf. Bake for 40 -50 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the centre comes out clean.
Let cool completely before slicing. Enjoy!

High protein and filled with healthy unsaturated fats, these make great snacks for adults on the go. My child also loves them made with cacao instead of protein powder. Great to avoid feeling anxious or irritated from skipping a meal. All the benefits of ingredients are listed along with the recipe.
I literally crave this dessert and it’s made from chickpeas! The peanut butter increases the protein content and I list all the benefits of eating beans.
This is the best cake I’ve ever eaten! Plus, the ingredients are amazing. All nutritious whole foods without any oils, gluten or dairy.
These have the best creamy texture and they’re loaded with protein and fat to keep blood sugars more balanced when eating something sweeter!
Delicious vegan gluten-free breakfast cookies made without refined sugar. Basically, a bowl of oatmeal in the form of a cookie! See notes section for my new favourite way to make.
Original recipe is from the Balanced Blonde and I added a couple rockstar ingredients to take it to the next level. It’s so delicious covered in tahini.
Everyone seems to be baking banana bread right now, so I joined in too! Vegan and gluten-free, because that’s how my body feels best.
the easiest way to make pancakes for a group, or for 1 person that loves pancakes (me!)
this is so much faster than the traditional way, especially if you don’t have a girdle
vegan, gluten-free, delicious
Taco salad bowls remind me of trips to mexico! They are easy to throw together and it’s vegan and gluten-free. Plant-based eating is high in phytonutrients and anti-inflammatory properties so you can thrive.
