Gluten free banana bread recipe | Fig and Cherry

Posted on October 10, 2012 by ChristieGluten Free, Sweet Treats, Vegetarian





My banana bread recipe is the most popular recipe on this blog. I get countless people turning up here every day after searching Гугл for banana bread recipes. Hello if thatand#8217;s you right now!


My hubby just loves banana bread, and I love making it for him. His mum loves banana bread too, but she canand#8217;t eat my recipe because she follows a gluten free diet. So I decided to develop a GF banana bread recipe so that we could all enjoy this luscious treat together!



Hubby said that the flavour and texture was really good in comparison with the and#8216;realand#8217; recipe (thanks babe!), but just one word of warning and#8211; it really is best eaten on the day itand#8217;s мейд. The next day it starts to dry out and the texture gets a bit crumbly and#8211; so be sure to make it when you know there will be lots of willing taste testers around to polish it off.


In this recipe I used Macro GF self raising flour which is a mix of maize, rice and tapioca flours and#8211; but just use your favourite brand. I have actually been meaning to post a recipe for my homemade GF flour which gives a good ratio of different flours and#8211; I will attempt do that next week for you. There are a few considerations you need to keep in mind and Iand#8217;ll chat about them when I post the recipe.


For now, raid your fruit bowl for some ripe bananas then relax with a hot cup of tea.
