Then comes the gluten-free goodness: a mix of gluten-free oats, almond meal and
my favorite gluten-free flour blend

GOOD NEWS!
Several people have tried this recipe vegan-ized by swapping the egg for 1 chia or
flax egg
and have reported that it works well! To do so, just combine 1 Tbsp chia seed or flaxseed meal with 2.5 Tbsp water, mix and let set for 5 minutes to activate. Then add to the recipe when I note to add the egg.

Hi. I really love your recipes and haven’t encountered any problems. But this banana bread recipe calls for so much flour/dry ingredients. The batter comes out much drier than what the picture and video show. I felt like after 1-1/4 cups of oats and 1-1/4 cups of gluten free flour, it was the right texture (runny like cake batter). When I added the 1-1/4 cup of almond meal it was just too much (more cookie dough texture). Is there a typo in the measurements? Or is it really 1-1/4 cups of each flour/oats? Thank you\!

Hey Sara! Thanks so much for the support! Yes those measurements are correct. The almond meal doesn’t absorb liquid so a good amount of it is needed for the end results texture! We hope you enjoy. xo

This is insanely good. I made mini loaves. I have no idea how long they baked for. I took it out once at 30 min and they were cooked through but pale so i decided to pop them back in for however much longer and took them out when the top edges were crispy brown. Before baking I sprinkled almond slices on top… it added a nice crunch. Soooooo good!! Thank you\!

Yes, all time. But I couldn’t help but strip it down to the absolute essentials and take it back to classic banana bread land.
Friends, behold: 1-Bowl Gluten-Free Banana Bread.


The ingredients for this scrumptious, hearty bread begin with three overripe bananas. Then come essentials you likely already have on hand, such as eggs (or chia/flax eggs), vanilla and coconut oil. To sweeten things up a bit more I relied on a mix of honey, cane and brown sugar for a variance of flavor and texture.
Then comes the gluten-free goodness: a mix of gluten-free oats, almond meal and [my favorite gluten-free flour blend](https://minimalistbaker.com/diy-gluten-free-flour-blend/) (or sub other gluten-free blends with varied results). Check out our [Guide to Gluten-Free Flours](https://minimalistbaker.com/guide-to-gluten-free-flours/) for more guidance\!
And of course, if you’re not gluten free, just sub whole wheat pastry or all purpose for the blend.


About 1 hour in the oven and this baby is ready for the taking.

I could hardly wait to slice in, but patience is key here. You need to wait a good hour before cutting into this baby, else it will crumble and fall apart. That’s what you don’t want.

This is what you do want. A hearty loaf that holds its shape and converts even the most suspicious of eaters into gluten-free banana bread lovers. Hubba hubba.

This bread is:
Hearty

Loaded with banana flavor
Just sweet enough
Spotted with oats and almond meal
