Delicious Banana Bread

To make gluten-free banana bread, substitute the all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend. Ensure that the blend contains xanthan gum for the best texture. You can also use almond flour or oat flour, but the texture may vary slightly.

If you're looking for egg substitutes in banana bread, you can use 1/4 cup of unsweetened applesauce, 1/4 cup of mashed banana (though this may alter the flavor slightly), or a flaxseed meal mixture (1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal mixed with 2.5 tablespoons of water, let sit for a few minutes).

To keep your banana bread fresh, store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and place it in the freezer, where it can last for up to 3 months. Just thaw it at room temperature when you're ready to enjoy it again.

Banana bread pairs wonderfully with a spread of cream cheese or butter. For a heartier breakfast, serve it alongside Greek yogurt and fresh fruit. A drizzle of honey or maple syrup can also enhance its sweetness.

Absolutely! You can customize your banana bread by adding nuts like walnuts or pecans, chocolate chips, or dried fruits such as raisins or cranberries. Just fold them into the batter before pouring it into the loaf pan for a delightful twist.
