Gluten-Free Banana Oat Bread

Banana bread is one of my favorite things to eat and to bake.  It’s one of the few things I can bake and not totally mess up 🙂

I try to eat mostly gluten-free because of an intolerance that will always leave me with a tummy ache (although sometimes real pizza or bagels are worth the tummy ache in my opinion) so I made this banana bread as a gluten-free version.  You could simply exchange the gluten-free flour with regular baking flour and I think it would be the same 🙂  But it is delicious gluten-free or not!

Ingredients:

• 3 ripe bananas
• 1 cup gluten-free baking flour
• 1/4 cup oats (I use Trader Joe’s gluten free rolled oats)
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg 
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon coconut sugar

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Line the loaf tin with parchment paper.  Mix the wet ingredients in one bowl and the dry in a larger bowl.  Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir until well combined.  Pour the mixture into the loaf tin and bake for 40 minutes or until the middle of the bread is done (stick a toothpick in and see if it comes out clean).  Let the bread cool completely on a wire rack.

Enjoy!
