Banana Bread

Have some overripe bananas? Use them to make this Banana Bread recipe! I absolutely love this banana bread because it tastes delicious and is gluten free, dairy free, and contains no added sugar. This recipe is naturally sweetened by fruit!

I love having this banana bread for breakfast, as a snack, or as a sweet treat. I like making it on Sunday afternoons and packing it with me for breakfast Monday morning. As a Management Consultant, it is the perfect on-the-go breakfast to take with me to the airport when I fly out Monday mornings.

Note: Because this recipe is made with flours such as tigernut, almond, and coconut, the batter will be thicker and the bread will not rise. If you would like a more traditional rising banana bread recipe, checkout my Banana Bread recipe using oats here.
