Recipe Tips

  • The honey can be left out if you don’t have any or don't want to add it. Alternatively, you can use regular sugar as a replacement.
  • Overripe bananas are the best for this recipe as they mash easier and have a much stronger taste.
  • Lining the loaf tin is crucial as it will prevent your gluten-free banana bread from sticking to the sides.
  • If you feel like adding a few more flavors to the banana bread, then you can try adding some chocolate chips or walnuts. Both ingredients go excellent with bananas, so I highly recommend adding them if you want to experiment a little.
  • If your banana bread starts to burn on the top, then cover with foil. This method will slow down the browning, allowing your bread to cook all the way through.
