This gluten-free banana walnut bread is made using gluten-free oats and coconut ground into flour. The addition of yogurt and butter makes a perfectly moist banana walnut bread that is so damn delicious!
The healthy banana walnut bread is naturally sweetened with whole ripe bananas and contains a small amount of additional coconut sugar. To make this banana bread with walnuts even healthier, you can skip the coconut sugar for sugar-free banana bread that is low-carb.
Walnuts add the perfect crunch and provide additional nutritional benefits such as anti-inflammatory omega 3 fats.
Gluten-Free Banana Walnut Bread
2 large free-range eggs
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup coconut sugar
1 cup very ripe bananas (3 med bananas)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup oat flour or ground oats
1 cup coconut flour or ground shredded coconut
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup plain greek yogurt

How to make banana bread
Melt butter and combine with the wet ingredients mixing well.
Combine all the dry ingredients in a large bowl, then mix with the wet ingredients.
Pour batter into a lightly greased baking pan.
Bake at 350 degrees F for 40 mins – 1 hour.
Because this healthy banana bread is moist it is best to bake it @350 or lower for an hour. This will help to ensure that the inside cooks all the way through without burning the crust.
If you like a loaf of drier banana bread you can add 1/2 cup of ground oat flour. But I must say a moist buttery banana bread is so tasty!
Nutrition Tip ~ Many sweet treats are full of highly processed refined flours that are nutrient deficient and easily disrupt blood sugar balance.
By grinding your flours in a coffee grinder or high-speed blender such as the Vitamix, you can enjoy your sweet treats with healthy flours such as the oat and coconut flour in this gluten-free banana walnut bread.
