Gluten & Dairy-Free Sourdough Banana Bread
The Wrote Oat
January 5, 2024
Hello and happy Thursday! I’m happy to share the peak hybrid of my two most popular bread recipes: gluten-free banana bread and gluten-free sourdough bread! I have only good news: one, the health benefits are increased because of the sourdough cultures which help maintain gut-health; two, the gluten-free sourdough banana bread takes less time to ferment/rise than regular, plain sourdough bread; three, this bread is delicious! After you make this recipe, leave a comment below to let me know how you like it!
I use my own gluten-free flour blend that I mix. My recipe for The Wrote Oat flour blend is below. I can’t make guarantees for other gluten-free flour blends, but a rice flour-based gluten-free flour blend should work well.
