Yes you read that right. This banana bread is gluten-free, refined sugar-free, and vegan. It was moist and delicious. There is only a tiny sliver left and I made it this morning. I did send a good portion of it home with a gluten-free sugar-free pal. I will be making this again.
Gluten-Free Banana Bread (Refined Sugar Free and Vegan)
Ingredients
- 1 c sorghum flour
- 1/2 c brown rice flour
- 1/4 c potato starch
- 1/4 c tapioca flour
- 1 tsp xanthum gum
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 c date paste
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2-3 really ripe bananas, smashed
- 1/2 c rice milk
- 1/2 cup optional nuts or chocolate chips (optional)
Do
- Preheat oven to 350° and spray pan lightly.
- Add all of the dry ingredients to a large mixing bowl.
- Add all of the wet ingredients to a medium mixing bowl.
- Mix wet ingredients into dry ingredients. (You could stir in the optional nuts or chocolate chips here)
- Pour batter into pan and bake for 40 minutes.
- Insert toothpick to test for doneness.
Serve
This is best eaten same day although it can be frozen for another time. I served this with coffee. It isn’t “dessert” sweet although the chocolate chips may take it up a notch.

Looks very good… Is the texture moist ? Thanks for sharing
It is moist! It doesn’t have the weird spongy thing going on that a lot of gluten-free baked goods have.
Thanks I have bookmarked the recipe thank you..
My pleasure! I hope you like it!
I like that it looks exactly like what I’m used to banana bread looking like! I will most likely be trying this out!
Danielle if you don’t need it to be gluten free then I recommend the recipe instead. It uses wheat flour and taste like heaven, especially if you use chocolate chips. http://myplantbasedfamily.wordpress.com/2012/10/17/the-worlds-best-banana-bread/
Awesome! Yeah, I definitely don’t need it to be gluten-free, and I have all those ingredients already. I see a baking project in my future!
You will love it, then you’ll want to be best friends. lol! I had a friend over yesterday (I made both recipes) and she ate at least a 1/4 of it by herself. Yes it is that good.
I don’t have date paste. But could I just blend up dates myself?
Yes! You may want to soak them in warm water for a while and remove the pits. Add water a little at a time while processing.
