For Bread Week 18, I decided to make a gluten-free banana bread - specifically, this one that took both oats and almond meal in addition to some gluten-free flour. I'm glad I did. This was a delicious, hearty loaf that should work well with wheat flour if you didn't want it gluten-free.
 
This banana bread was hearty and satisfying. It was moist and banana-y. It had a nice crumb and texture, and was neither too sweet nor too dense. I didn't notice the almond meal in it, and only barely noticed the oats if I looked for them. I liked that it didn't have much oil, although I know that the almond meal provided the bread with some fat. I bet the bread would be really good with ground walnuts. This was a pretty good banana bread. I would make it again sometime, whether gluten-free, or by substituting in a little wheat flour for the gluten-free flour.

Add almond meal, gluten-free flour, oats, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Stir until well combined. Bake at 350F for 60-75 minutes, until a toothpick inserted inside comes out more-or-less clean.

Hi, I'm Leona!

I love homemade sweets and baked goods, using real ingredients, not mixes. I also share easy-to-make meals - so that I can spend the rest of my time baking, not making dinner.
