This Breakfast Loaf has been sitting in my drafts since March. Quick to put together, with warm spices, Oat, rice, amaranth and almond flours, and a great snack as well. Add more nuts, other nuts and seeds, add cooked quinoa to the batter. Slice these up and carry everywhere. This loaf is gluten-free and refined sugar free. It can be easily made with gluten as well with any whole grain flour. For a regular wheat based banana bread, see this One Bowl Banana Apple Bread Loaf. For GF muffins see these gluten-free Banana chocolate chunk muffins.

Walnuts are a great source of fatty acids, they help lower bad cholesterol and increase good cholesterol, vit E and B complex groups, manganese, copper, iron, potassium and have anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits.



Bananas of course are a pretty much over all awesome food. The sweetness eliminates the need for added sugars, the bulk eliminates the need for oil, all the potassium, fiber and B6 and this is one packed loaf.

Make this Gluten-free Banana Walnut Bread!

Why do I make smaller loafs you ask. Hubbs is allergic to Banana, and there is only so much snacking I can do. I prefer savory breakfast and snacks. The recipe can be doubled easily.



And someone please keep bugging me till I make gluten-free flour mix recipes for breads, cakes and bakes, so the recipe can say use a cup of my gf flour blend. 🙂
