I make banana bread pretty often for my friends. And, although it is healthier than a lot of desserts, it is not gluten free or completely plant based. So, I wanted to try to substitute my banana bread ingredients for gluten free and animal protein free options. So, this recipe is a Whole-Food Plant Based approved recipe! And.... it turned out really good :). Dense, but moist. Flavorful and naturally sweet, but not too sweet. Hope you enjoy it!!

Banana & Berry Gluten Free Bread
Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas mashed
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 flax seed eggs (2 tbsp flax seed and 5 tbsp water)
- 3/4 cup almond yogurt
- 1/3 cup almond milk
- 1/3 orange squeezed (about 1 tbsp)
- 1 cup cassava flour
- 1/2 cup arrowroot flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- pinch of sea salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- pinch of cloves
- 1/2 cup frozen berries for topping
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Make flax egg and let sit while you mash your bananas and add wet ingredients; yogurt, milk, vanilla and orange juice. Add flax egg and mix well.
- Add dry ingredients; cassava flour, arrowroot flour, baking soda, spices and a pinch of salt.
- Line loaf pan with parchment paper and pour batter into it.
- Sprinkle the top with the frozen berries.
- Bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes. It will be soft and sticky right out of the oven... delicious!
- Store in refrigerator for up to week. I only ate 1/2 of this bread over the week (mainly because we had an Indian wedding two days that week, so I got my intake of delicious food and sweets). So, I cut my bread into bites sizes and frozen them. I ate these bites as a snack or as breakfast with some fruit and they were delicious!!
