Moist and delicious this simple gluten free banana bread recipe is made with rice flour, tapioca starch and soft bananas.
Sometimes it’s tough to enjoy eating gluten free banana bread. Many versions I’ve tried have been dry, crumbly and bland. Making my own seems to be the only way to get a moist and delicious gluten free banana bread. But the flour combinations I’ve seen in many gluten free recipes is a bit much. Who wants to store ten types of flour anyway?
So after trying several recipes – and not being willing to play with a million and one gluten free flour combinations – I finally created this one with rice flour and tapioca starch.
It’s soft and moist and delicious – and stays that way even reheated after some time in the freezer!
