Gluten-Free Oatmeal Banana Bread

Total
Yield 1 large loaf
I am going to share with you one of my favorite go-to’s I have used quite often during my pregnancy. My kids love it, and so do I {and I’m sure my little girl does already too!}. It only has natural sugars, no yucky fat or oils, and is gluten free too. I hope you enjoy it just as much!
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups gluten free flour (rice flour) + ½ tsp xanthum gum
- 1/2 cup rolled oats (make sure they are gluten-free if you need it)
- 1 tsp Baking soda
- 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 heaping tsp ground cinnamon
- 3-4 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/3 cup apple sauce
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup honey
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350
- In a mixing bowl, mix together all dry ingredients (flour, oats, baking soda, baking powder, sea salt and cinnamon)
- In a separate bowl mix together the remaining ingredients until thoroughly mixed
- Mix the wet into the dry
- Mix until well blended
- Grease a 9-inch Pyrex with coconut oil and dust with a little flour
- Pour batter into the pan and distribute evenly with a spatula
- Place in the middle of the oven and bake for 40 minute or until lightly brown on top, firm to the touch and a toothpick comes out clean
Notes
Option: Chocolate chips! Add about a 1/2 cup once batter is mixed. That turns this from banana bread into banana cake.
