Delicious Gluten + Dairy Free Ginger Banana Bread

Directions

Ginger spice Banana Bread is moist, and fluffy with warm notes of ginger spices. The best part about this recipe? Not only is it gluten free, but also dairy free.

Gluten free ginger spice banana bread will be a household favourite this holiday season!

Bananas are one of those fruits that if bought ripe, you need to eat quickly before they become somewhat too soft and unpleasant to eat the ‘normal’ way.

But those brown spotted bananas are perfect for this recipe, and certainly make for more flavour when in this state. 

Since we are coming up on ginger spice season we knew we had to make a ginger-spiced banana bread – a perfect way to shake up the radiational banana bread and make it more fitting for this festive season!

Marry them together and you get ginger spice banana bread! Or… banana gingerbread. Regardless of what you want to call it, it’s delicious!

We added some warm, gingerbread spices to the mix, with molasses to add a rich depth of flavor, and otherwise keep the ingredients really simple and easy.

Ingredients for ginger spiced banana bread:

• bananas: ripe and spotty, the best state for this recipe

• cinnamon
• ginger
• salt
• allspice

How to make banana gingerbread:

This recipe is so simple! Mash your bananas in a medium bowl, then add the eggs, molasses and agave nectar. Whisk all of these together to combine the flavours and textures.

Add the almond flour, baking powder, spices and salt. Whisk again until combined.

Line an 8 inch loaf pan with parchment paper and transfer the batter to the pan. Bake for 35 minutes, once a toothpick or knife comes out clean, it’s ready!

Allow to cool in the pan before loosening the edges with a butter knife and pulling up on the parchment paper to remove the loaf from the pan.
