Amazing banana bread recipe (gluten-free, egg-free, sugar-free, dairy-free) (2024)

This recipe is quite amazing because I’ve literally been able to change all of the ingredients (except, of course, the bananas) and it still works and it still turns out yummy! Usually I make it gluten free, dairy free, egg free and sugar free!

Banana Bread

Just over 1/2 tsp powdered stevia (or 3/4 cup sugar)

1/2 cup butter, margarine or oil

3 tsp egg replacer mixed with 4 TB water (or an extra banana OR 2 eggs)

1 cup mashed bananas with 1 tsp baking soda mixed in (usually I do 2 bananas and skip the baking soda step, but my sister says it makes a difference)

2 Tb milk (rice, soy, cow, almond, coconut))

1/4 tsp baking soda mixed with 1/2 tsp of lemon juice (or 1 tsp baking powder)

1 3/4 cup flour (wh. or br. wheat, spelt, or rice flour OR my favorite mix: 1 cup br. rice flour, 2/3 cup chickpea flour, 1/3 cup tapioca flour – this mix can be used in place of wheat in almost all recipes. ALSO, I usually do 1 1/2 cups flour and 1/4 cup ground flax meal or oat bran.)

pinch of salt

____________________________

Bake at 350 degrees.

50 minutes for wheat, 45 minutes for spelt, 40 minutes for rice/chickpea/tapioca flours.

Baking times vary based on your oven and your altitude.

    Hey Angie, there is this amazing health food store not too far from me that sells chickpea flour in bulk, called Famous Foods. But I’ve seen it at all the other health food stores too, usually in different labeling packages (I’ve seen it in Bob’s Red Mill packaging before I think).

    I checked your site out this morning and couldn’t wait to try your Banana Bread recipe. It was super – and I even substituted unsweetened applesauce for half the oil called for in the recipe. I used spelt flour, stevia, and didn’t put any milk in it. Thanks.

    I have been using this recipe for over a year since I first read it here.
    I make it with rice flour, stevia, eggs and rice milk. It is delicious and one of the few gluten-free recipes I use that tastes ‘normal’. Even my partner loves this banana bread (I put chocolate chips in one half of it for him :-).

    Thanks so much Angie for making our lives yummier!
    I think I might try using less oil and applesauce as mentioned above.

    Wow. Thanks! I can not wait to try this! We found out recently that our 6yo daughter has several food intolerances (11 actually) the most common being: egg, dairy, wheat, and soy. I’ve been hard pressed to find breads that don’t use eggs. I’ve tried making a gf cake with the egg replacer, and it just didn’t work. I was thrilled when a friend fwd’ed this to me, and I can’t wait to try it! Thank you for posting it!!

    Hi Angela,

    Here are some other things you can use to replace egg:

    * Powdered Egg Replacer – 1.5 tsp mixed with 2 TB water = 1 egg
    * 2 tbsp cornstarch = 1 egg
    * 2 tbsp arrowroot flour = 1 egg
    * 2 tbsp potato starch = 1 egg
    * 1 heaping tbsp soy powder + 2 tbsp water = 1 egg
    * 1 tbsp soy milk powder + 1 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water = 1 egg.
    * 1 banana = 1 egg in cakes.
    * 1 tbsp milled flax seed and 3 tbsp water = 1 egg.

    Good luck!

    My husband and I both have sensitivity to wheat, so I’m trying to find ways to use rice flour…and I came across this recipie. I made it the first time, and it was pretty good, except that the texture was slightly gritty and there was WAY too much butter- the first few bites tasted just like a mouth ful of butter, yuk! SO this time I took the advice above and substituted 1/2 unsweetened applesauce. ONe thing I’m wondering about though, I’d really like to cut down on the sugar, but thought that reducing it would make it too soupy and not have enough dry ingredients to absorb all the moisture. But now I’m thinking that the applesauce will make it extra sweet… It’s in the oven now, We’ll see how it turns out. Another confusing thing about this recipie is that 3/4c sugar can be subbed with only 1 tsp stevia, which makes me think that I’m totally wrong about the dry ingredients. How can this work? This time I also sprinkled some cinnamon on top before baking. One thing I’m surprised no one has commented on– the baking times (at least for rice flour) are WAY OFF!! I checked after 40 minutes and the inside was like soup. SO the first time I made this and the second time (now) my bread has to stay in the overn for approx 1.5 hours just to cook through to the center!!

    Hi! Sorry it took me so long to get back to you! Thanks for all of your feedback on the recipe. I suspect that I have an overly hot oven and perhaps you have an overly cold oven. When I bake things in my sister’s oven downstairs I have to do it longer than in my oven.

    The slightly gritty texture is based on what flour you use. Straight up rice flour leaves that kind of texture. I usually make my own gluten-free flour mix.

    Also, stevia has a different taste than sugar and yes, you use soooo much less than sugar because it’s 200-300 times sweeter than sugar. Which is why I’m always on the lookout for more recipes that work with stevia because a lot of times the straight sugar to stevia substitution doesn’t work.

    It is often difficult to replace sugars with stevia or severely reduce the amount of sugar in some recipes because the melted sugar creates a web like frame that can be essentials for the spreading out, crispiness and rise of a baked product..To make up for it you have to adjust the balance of other ingredients..here is a link to help
    ..http://recipes.howstuffworks.com/low-sugar-baking-tips.htm
    If the link does not get you directly there(argh!!!) it is the TLC Baking low sugar tips…

    Egg substitutes can be great and nsccesary The ones listed above work well depending on the purpose of the egg in the recipes..eggs are binders and leveners ..so in a recipe where its primary job is to bind the flax water etc would work. Most of those listed above are binders…a banana with a dash of baking soda would leven things.. You could use the above replacers and add a 1/4 tsp of baking soda and a 1/4tsp of lemon juice for levening..Gluten fee baking can always do with a little extra leavining so don’t worry about it possibly being too much..

    oh yes one more tip about anything free baking..always choose e recipe that does not require very much of what you are replacing…example..Don’t even bother trying to make the flour free chocolate cake that requires 8-10 beaten egg whites if you have to substitute eggs.. You can substitute for 1-2 eggs but nooo not 8

    ok..ok..I lied…one more thing.. gluten free baking can take a long time and the middles are often gooshy so the smaller the pan you use the better..It is so much easier and faster to make several mini loaves than one big one..

    i hope these tips help..they are the result of many hours of scouring the net..good luck and happy baking

    You are a wonderful cook, a delightful artist and a devoted mother. A perfect Baha’i. My daughter, Sara found your recipes online as she, my husband and I are all gluten-free and sugar-free as well, and truly enjoyed your recipes. I just finished your banana bread and added a teaspoon agave to the stevia and extra bananas and it smelled so great I took a taste before it was totally done. Just a note, with a convection oven the spelt gets done almost 15 minutes sooner and it was incredible! We loved the recipes and when we discovered that you are a Baha’i it all made sense. Your strong values and excellent taste shine through–of course we are all Baha’is as well and live in Southern Oregon. You have a truly beautiful family.

    Hi all – just read through the comments. Some extra tips – chickpea flour is also called Gram flour if you are looking around for it. Also I use xylitol sugar substitute which is a natural sugar and safe for diabetics – in my cooking and although haven’t made this banana bread Ive been making bread with just chickpea, tapioca flour, lemon juice, bicarbonate of soda, water, banana and a bit of xylitol, salt and sometimes apple cider vinegar. comes out lovely my husband loves it but I still am trying to find an ingredient to mask the taste of the bicarb of soda – any suggestions?

    This recipe is wonderful, thank you so much for posting it!! I used real sugar since I didn’t have any stevia on hand. I used the egg replacer, rice milk, canola oil, and my standard flour mix ( 1 cup brown rice flour, 3/4 cup potato starch, 1/4 cup tapioca flour). I was really craving something sweet so I added some dairy free chocolate chips and it was heavenly! but I think it would be delicious without the chips as well 🙂 This was the first gluten free egg free banana bread recipe that worked for me!

    Hi Sally, I know how frustrating it is to try to find new foods to eat when you’re in that situation. I was on a grain free diet for while when I was doing the Candida diet at one point and I found a lot of good recipes by searching “candida recipes.” A lot of them were grinding up seeds or nuts and using those as flour. Sometimes you can buy them already ground up or else you can use a coffee grinder to do it. You can make things like granola bars with them.

    Are you allergic to quinoa? Many people are not and it is a wonderful grain and also a complete protein. I used to cook quinoa flakes (just like oatmeal) as a breakfast cereal. You can also cook the whole grain like rice (1 cup quinoa plus 2 cups water, boil then turn down low with the lid on and simmer for 20 minutes). And the flour is great for baking. Here is a recipe for quinoa banana muffins: https://mudspice.wordpress.com/2009/10/11/banana-quinoa-flour-muffins-or-waffles-dessert-recipes-gluten-free-egg-free-sugar-free-dairy-free/

    The candida recipe books also suggest eating things like baked yams or applesauce for breakfast.

    On another note, you might want to look into getting your allergies cleared up with either of these two natural, non-invasive techniques (I’ve used both of them for myself and my kids and it cleared up the allergies really quickly): N.I.S.(http://www.neurolinkglobal.com/) or N.A.E.T. (http://www.naet.com/). I’m not sure where you live, but those websites have directories for practitioners.

    Good luck!

    Thank you for this recipe! I am a vegan and recently stopped eating gluten and added sugars, so this recipe has been a godsend. I tend to make it with the brown rice/chickpea/tapioca flour mix, but also sometimes use a mixture of brown rice and buckwheat flours, which is great as well – although for whatever reason, when I do this I need to cut down on the oil. I like throwing some walnuts and frozen blueberries or cranberries into the batter, as well as an extra banana. Also, I use coconut oil and really love the subtle flavor that adds. To whoever suggested making it with pumpkin- great idea! Can’t wait to try that out!

    Delicious, but excessively sweet. Also, I made as muffins and they are crumbling to pieces. I used an extra banana in lieu of an egg, 1/4 c apple sauce in place of some of the oil, and the flour mix with oat flour instead of garbanzo bean flour (simply because I grabbed the wrong package). Mine may have been extra sweet because of my overripe bananas. Next time will stick with the full 1/2 cup of oil, cut sugar down to 1/2 cup, and try a different egg substitute, maybe flax.

    I’m trying a modified version of this recipe tonight. I’m using nonfat blueberry yogurt instead of the oil, reducing the sugar a bit because of the sugar in the yogurt, and adding some blueberries. Yum! I might also swap out some of the wheat flour for chickpea flour, since we have that.

    I had a couple notes for readers:

    1) Sugar is counted as a liquid ingredient, NOT a dry ingredient in baking. This is because it dissolves completely and becomes a liquid when it comes in contact with liquids. So if you reduce the sugar you don’t have to worry about there being not enough dry ingredients (a bit the opposite, actually).

    2) Chickpea flour is also called besan in Hindi and Urdu, and it’s available in any Indian or Middle Eastern import store, much more cheaply than at health food stores. I picked up five pounds of besan for about $3 at our local Indian market. You can make terrific Indian deserts with besan, such as besan ladoo (Google ‘microwave besan ladoo’ and you’ll find good recipes… you can substitute butter for the ghee).

    1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
    1 tsp cinnamon
    pinch of salt

    I didn’t include the milk because I simply forgot about it, but it turned out fine without it, and between the chickpea flour, bananas, and yogurt, it was super moist. I baked this in 2 mini loaf pans, each yielding 8 slices (16 slices total). I did the nutritional breakdown, and it’s 81 calories per slice, with 1/3 of a gram of fat, 2 grams of fiber, 7 grams of sugar, and 2 grams of protein. Not bad!

    Thanks for the tips! I was wondering what turbinado sugar is? And how exactly do you figure out the nutritional breakdown?

    Turbinado sugar is basically raw sugar from the first pressing of sugar cane, in large crystal form. You can get it at natural food stores, trader joe’s, and so on. If you have ever used those little brown “Sugar In the Raw” packets at cafes and restaurants, you have used turbinado sugar.

    I use MyPlate over at LiveStrong.com to do the nutritional info. You can create recipes with the tool, give it all the ingredients, tell it how many servings it makes, and it’ll give you the per-serving nutritional info. I use it all the time, once you get the hang of it it’s very easy.

    Hi, I am trying to stay away from white flour so I tried this w/King Arthur gluten free all purpose flour. I used stevia, left out the baking soda. It turned out really flat and dense and not very good tasting at all 😦 Do you think it needs xanthan gum since the gf flour doesn’t contain it? Or what can I do to make it lighter & rise? Grr so far my gluten free baking hasn’t gone very well, even when I bake with whole wheat flour it just isn’t right. Help!

    Yes, gluten free baking is such a challenge because we expect things to look and taste like wheat. Unfortunately the gluten in wheat, which is what most people react to, is what makes the breads light and fluffy. Rice flour does not have gluten, so it will not turn out the same.

    However, my banana bread is usually not too dense.

    A few suggestions: try adding the baking soda this time, sift the gluten free flour to make it lighter, try adding sugar/honey/maple syrup/rice syrop/agave nectar/xylitol in place of stevia. Stevia has a slightly different taste and some stevias leave a bitter aftertaste (the high quality ones should not – if it slightly bitter, try a different one).

    And last of all, don’t be afraid to experiment and make mistakes! That is how we learn new things. Good luck.

    Hi I have a quick recipe question. I am gluten and dairy free, and have been looking for a white rice flour banana bread recipe that I can make to use up the big bag of rice flour I have in my cupboard. Only problem is I have to follow a very low fat diet, and I am not able to use the amount of oil called for in this recipe. I’d substitute it for applesauce like everyone else has suggested, but I also follow a low FODMAP diet, and applesauce is something they say to avoid. Do you have any other suggestions for a substitute I can use in your recipe in place of the oil? I know someone mentioned using pumpkin puree. Do you think I could substitute equal amounts of pumpkin for the oil? Thanks in advance for anyones comments or suggestions. Hoping to make this bread today if I can find a good oil substitute.

    So I made the bread Monday night, substituting equal amounts of pumpkin puree for the oil. I also added an extra banana to replace the egg. It was my first time baking with rice flour, so after continuously checking it with a toothpick I baked it for 60 minutes instead of 40. But I’m not sure if I should’ve baked it for longer or not. The bread came out very dense. I also made the mistake of not letting it cool long enough, so just 15 minutes after taking it out of the oven I tried to cut it. I basically couldn’t slice through it without it breaking into tons and tons of, what seemed, uncooked pieces, so not flaky pieces, but super dense mushy pieces. The next day, after thinking I had a complete flop on my hands, I checked the bread out and it didn’t seem to be as mushy. It was still very very dense, but it at least seemed to be all the way cooked through. So to sum up, I was able to keep half of the bread, and have had a few slices yesterday and today, but it is still very dense. Is this common when baking with just rice flour? Should I have baked it longer? I know now that I should let it cool longer. How long would you recommend it to cool for? Overnight? Like I said, I’ve had a few slices since Monday and it’s pretty good, just a tad too dense. The taste is good though. Maybe a little too sweet, but not so bad that I can’t eat it. Thanks for the recipe post, and getting back with me. Hopefully you can answer a few of my last questions, so I can get this recipe down.

    Deniz – If you just use chickpea flour it might turn out a bit crumbly, and have a strong chickpea flavour, but you’re welcome to try it out. I would still use the same amount of flour.

    Hi Jessa,
    Banana is incredible for holding things together. You can use it in place of eggs and it makes things stick, stick, stick. I love bananas!

    Heather,
    I use chickpea flour and arrowroot powder or corn starch to thicken it and make it stick. If you google “gluten free flour mix” there are a lot of different ways of combining various flours to make a good mix. Once you make your mix, you can use it in most recipes. Sometimes it will be a bit crumbly, but usually they turn out fine.

    Is it really only 3/4 tsp of sugar? That seems really low and almost pointless to include if it is really only 3/4 of a tsp. I have made this recipe several times for my wheat, dairy, and egg-free son and we do like it a lot. However, I think the first time I made it, I misread it and used 3/4 a cup of sugar instead of 3/4 tsp. The next time I made it, I used 3/4 tsp of sugar and the batter did not taste nearly sweet enough, even with the extra banana I used in place of the egg (and I use overripe bananas, so they are extra sweet to start with). I ended up adding a 1/2 cup of sugar, but after baking, it still wasn’t that sweet.

Does gluten-free bread need to rise longer? ›

If you can let the gluten free bread dough rise overnight in a cool — not warm — place, the slower rise will provide a stronger cell structure and more of a sourdough flavor when baked the next day.
