    Why You Will Love This Recipe

    • This recipe is paleo, allergen friendly, gluten free, dairy free, and soy free.
    • Kids will love this recipe!
    • This recipe has very little prep to it.
    • A great way to use up over ripe or frozen bananas so they don’t go to waste.
    • This is a great meal prep item so that you have an easy after school snack for the week.
    • Bananas are always in season at your local grocery store or market.

    Ingredients

    AIP Banana Bread ingredients in small glass bowls on a silver tray.
    • Arrowroot, coconut, and cassava flour-Do not substitute out this flour blend! Not all gluten free flours are created equally.
    • Applesauce-The applesauce in combination with the gelatin egg is what replaces the egg in this recipe.
    • Maple syrup-Maple syrup is my go to sweetener in this recipe, you can use honey if you would like but the flavor will not be as dense. 
    • Ripe bananas-Make sure your bananas are ripe! I like to make sure the bananas are black on the outside and nice and soft. 
    • Regular banana-The regular banana (not over-ripe) is to be used for the garnish.
    • Ginger-The fresh ginger gives this banana bread some spice. 
    • Olive oil-I love using olive oil in baking rather than any other oil. You may substitute this recipe with coconut oil if desired. 
    • Cinnamon-This adds an additional layer of zest to the recipe when paired with the fresh ginger.
    • Vanilla powder-Vanilla powder is used in place of vanilla extract in AIP cooking. There is no alcohol in it. When choosing a brand, make sure the powder is brown and isn’t mixed with anything. It should not be white, if it is, that means it is mixed with sugar. 
    • Gelatin-Gelatin is used in many AIP recipes as an egg alternative. 
    • Baking soda & powder-These two ingredients are responsible for helping this bread rise.

    See the recipe card below for a full list ingredients and measurements.

    Substitutions and Variations

    • A fun variation would be to add dairy free chocolate chips to this recipe for an added fun treat.
    • You could shred and add zucchini to the recipe to add vegetables for your kids. You will just need to add additional cassava flour to compensate for the added moisture.

    This recipe has not been tested with any other substitutions or variations. If you try something else out please let me know how it turns out in the comments below!

    Step By Step Instructions

    Bananas, cassava flour, arrowroot flour, coconut flour, applesauce, maple syrup, ground ginger, cinnamon, vanilla powder, baking soda, baking powder, and extra virgin olive oil in a silver mixing bowl with a pink spatula in it.
    First, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place all dry ingredients in a bowl, whisk, and set aside. In a separate bowl, mix all wet ingredients. Slowly combine the two bowls.
    Gelatin egg mixture in a glass mixing bowl with a small whisk in it.
    In the meantime, whisk up your gelatin egg. Slowly add the hot water to the gelatin and whisk together. Be sure to move fast or the egg alternative will stick and you will have to start over. Add the egg to the mixture and whisk together.

    Line the bread pan with wax paper on both side. Spray the wax paper with the cooking oil spray. Gently pour in the batter. Cut the remaining banana in half long ways and lay on top to garnish. Cook the banana bread in the oven for 1 hour and 30 minutes.

    Expert Tips

    • Tip # 1: Do not be alarmed if the bread still looks soft on the inside when you cut into it. It is supposed to be super moist.
    • Tip # 2: The ripeness of the bananas will determine how sweet the bread is.
    • Tip # 3: Save all of your over ripe bananas in a container in the freezer, and pull them out as needed to make this recipe.

      This is a great breakfast recipe, for anyone looking to avoid eggs, dairy, grains and nuts/seeds. I have made countless loaf breads in my time and this one really stands true. Nice volume, moist, flavorful…

      Thank you!

      I had some very ripe bananas sitting around and remember seeing this recipe online. It was very moist and delicious. Being AIP, you sometimes miss the bread. This definitely hit the spot.

      I’ve made this several times and it’s always something I look forward to eating! I love to put a little palm shortening on it and pan fry each slice…tastes like french toast! It’s my favorite AIP banana bread recipe!

      Can you use peanut butter. In place of almond butter?

      Have you made this without maple syrup? Or specifically, without any sweetener?
