Simple, Delicious Flourless Banana Bread

Want to enjoy banana bread without gluten, sugar or specialty ingredients? This Healthy 5-Ingredient Flourless Banana Bread is simple, delicious and so easy to make. You’ll fall in love with how easy this loaf is to bake and how great you can feel about eating it often for breakfast or a snack.

Gluten Free, Okay by Me!

My mom inspired me tocreatea few more flourless baked goods, like this flourless banana bread recipe, that I can bake for people who don’t or can’t eat gluten. There are so many great recipes and products out there that allow you to enjoy baked goodieseven if you can’t have gluten.

So it got me thinking, what are some classics that need to be reinvented so that those who don’t eat gluten can still enjoy them? Banana bread came to mind. It’s a breakfast favorite!

This gluten-free banana bread recipe is also dairy-free, which can be another tricky ingredient for sensitive digestive systems. I don’t use almonds (or almond flour), walnuts, or pecans in my recipe, either, so no worries for those with nut allergies. And with no added salt, it’s low in sodium, too. And still, it’s incredibly delicious!

5-Ingredient Simple

I kept this recipe so simple that anyone can successfully bake it and so healthy you’d never believe it by how great it still tastes. Just 5 ingredients! And ones that you probably always have on hand: oatmeal, bananas, eggs, maple syrup and baking soda. That’s it, y’all!

No white or brown sugar, baking powder, specialty gluten-free flour flours or coconut oil. And, in case simplicity is your thing, skip the bowl and the whisk. With this recipe, there’s no need to stir. You just blend all of the wet ingredients and dry ingredients together in your blender, pour the batter into a loaf pan and bake.

It’s one of those recipes I can bake amidst the craziness of a weekday morning and we can enjoy it warm right out of the oven before rushing out the door for the day. It’s also great the next day and the next as the sugars in the bananas continue to release and make the bread even more moist and sweet.

• Add all ingredients to a blender, in the order listed, and blend until smooth and well combined.
• Pour batter into prepared loaf pan. (Garnish the top of the batter with thinly sliced banana, if desired) Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

• Let loaf cool completely in loaf pan. Store bread in an airtight container on the counter for 2-3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week. That’s it!

I LOVE the texture of this loaf! It’s super moist yet still has a hearty oatytexture from the ground oats. Maple syrup and ripe bananasact as the sweeteners and are one of my favorite flavor combos. Have you ever dipped banana slices in a little maple syrup as a snack?! So delicioso!

I have the recipe memorized to where I can actually have it in the ovenbefore my coffee even finishes brewing in the morning. That’s my kind of recipe, y’all! Hope you enjoy it too!
