Banana Bread – Vegan and Gluten Free

There is nothing like the smell of banana bread baking in the oven.  This banana bread is moist, sweet and delicious.  It tastes so good warm from the oven with butter melting over it.

Banana bread is great for a snack, breakfast or even dessert.  This is an easy gluten free recipe that you can change up however you want.  Add in your favorite nuts, dried fruit or chocolate chips.   I think this is my favorite way to use up bananas that are getting a little too ripe.  Sometimes I even hide bananas just so I can get some ripe enough to bake with.

I love to bake and I am always trying to remake some of my older recipes a little healthier and gluten free.  This banana bread recipe uses mostly oat flour.  I make my own by grinding up oats in the food processor or blender.   Just try to get the oats as finely ground as possible.
