Gluten-Free Banana Bread
Easy-to-Make Gluten-Free Banana Bread (That's Also Dairy-Free)
If you're avoiding gluten but crave a slice of home-baked banana bread straight from the oven, here's the perfect recipe. It's easy to make because you don't have to buy or mix unique gluten-free flours together. As long as you have gluten-free rolled oats in your kitchen, this bread is as good as made.
Grinding rolled oats into oat flour not only boosts the nutrition, but adds a delicious, chewy texture that makes it even heartier and more filling than traditional recipes. At 218 calories per slice and offering 4 grams each of fiber and protein, and fewer than 20 grams of sugar, it's just begging to be smeared with peanut butter for tomorrow's breakfast.
