Gluten Free + Dairy Free Banana Bread

Adapted from Healthy Crosby

Dry Ingredients:

¾ cup blanched almond flour

1 ¼ cup sorghum flour

¼ cup arrowroot flour/starch

1 tsp baking powder

½ tsp fine sea salt

¾ cup sucanat (unrefined cane sugar) or sugar of choice

1 ½ tbsp ground psyllium husk

½ tsp ground cinnamon (optional)

¼-½ cup equal parts chopped walnuts and pecans

Wet Ingredients:

½ cup hot water

1 tbs lemon juice (fresh)

1 ½ cup brown bananas (approx 3 medium bananas mashed)

3 tbs coconut oil

1 tsp vanilla extract

Method:

  1. Line loaf pan with coconut oil (or any neutral oil) and set aside.

  2. Preheat oven to 350°F (176°).

  3. Measure all dry ingredients into a large mixing bowl. When measuring the almond and sorghum flours, do not pack. Use a fork to mix and fluff all dry ingredients making sure it’s aerated and there are no lumps.

  4. Place all wet ingredients into a blender. If you don’t have a blender, mix everything into a separate mixing bowl and mash with a fork until evenly combined.

  5. Check the oven is preheated before mixing wet and dry ingredients.

  6. Fold dry ingredients into wet ingredients.

  7. Transfer batter into greased loaf pan and bake for approximately 30-35 mins.

  8. Remove bread from oven and cool completely in the pan. It’s important to wait until the loaf has set and is 100% cooled before slicing the loaf or the insides of the bread can tear. Use a serrated knife to slice. If the middle of the loaf sinks, it may be undercooked. You might put it back into the oven for an additional 10 mins.

*Gluten-free baking is not always exact due to measurement + temperature variables in our own unique environment. You may end up experimenting with this a few times before you get it just right for you. Remember to have fun with it!


One reason I offer customized food plans is that our bodies have different needs and our food plan should reflect this. Ingredients need to be customized and supportive to your unique situation.

This protein pact version is made with arrowroot flour. Arrowroot flour can:

  • be high in vitamin B9 (folate) - great for pregnancy

  • be a good source of prebiotics - feeding your gut bacteria

  • boost immunity - due to a healthier gut!

Enjoy!
