How to make gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free cinnamon banana bread with a 2 ingredient coconut banana glaze

Bananas. Check.

Cinnamon. Check.

Coconut. Check.

A little bit of sugar. Check.

This recipe is based off our protein banana bread recipe that we made using some plantains.

But today’s recipe we show you how to use a gluten-free flour blend to make the bread. Perfect for those that cannot find plantains. In the original recipe we did 1 1/2 cups flour with 1 medium plantain and we wanted to see if we could use all flour. And it worked!

The flour blend again is based off our gluten-free blend found in our purely classic cookbook.

For the gluten free flour blend we created our own using brown rice protein or hemp protein, arrowroot starch and coconut flour.  We like to use 2:1 ratio of flour to starch.  You can use any gluten-free or grain-free flour that you like. 

If you still want to use plantains but can’t get fresh plantains you can use plantain flour in your flour blend.

To get the flour blend we use you can find in our Purely Classic Recipes ebook.
