    How to make this Banana Bread?

    This banana bread is one of the easiest things to make! There are only 3 steps that you will need to do:

    STEP 1 - MASH THE BANANAS AND MIX ALL THE WET INGREDIENTS

    Mash the bananas with a fork and add them to a bowl together with the brewed coffee, yogurt & vegetable oil

    STEP 2- MIX ALL THE DRY INGREDIENTS & COMBINE TOGETHER WITH THE DRY

    In a separate bowl mix all the dry ingredients. Add the wet ingredients to the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix well to combine, stir in the chocolate chips.

    STEP 3 - BAKE

    Pour the batter into a prepared baking pan. Top with more chocolate chips and decorate with one banana sliced lengthwise.

    Bake for 60-65 minutes. Loosely cover the bread with aluminum foil after 30 minutes to help prevent the top and sides from getting too brown. To check whether the bread is done simply insert a toothpick in the center of the bread, if it comes out then your bread is done. Remove from the oven and allow the bread to cool completely in the pan set on a wire rack.

    what flour to use to make it?

    I like to use my universal homemade gluten-free flour blend. Which is a mix of the following flours :

    1. White Rice Flour

    2. Brown Rice Flour

    3. Sweet Rice Flour (Glutinous Rice aka Sticky Rice)

    4. Tapioca Flour (tapioca starch is the same as tapioca flour)

    5. Xanthan Gum

    If you can’t make that one, you can try with any gluten-free flour mix (just make sure it contains xanthan gum because that helps in binding the dough). The final result using different flour mixes might vary slightly, depending on what flours your mix contains.

    how to freeze this low fodmap banana bread

    This recipe for banana bread is freezer-friendly. To freeze it simply wrap the loaf or the slices in plastic foil and place it in a freezer-friendly bag or container. To defrost it, thaw in the fridge or room temperature. The bread will stay good in the freezer for up to 4 months.

    *fodmap tips:

    *To make sure that your flour mix is fodmap friendly I recommend that you make your own gluten-free flour mix, I always make this one. Or always read the ingredients of the store-bought gluten-free flour mixes. Make sure your mix doesn’t contain soy flour, chickpea/besan/gram/garbanzo bean flour, lentil flour, coconut flour, amaranth flour, or lupin flour.

    *Even though most banana bread recipe calls for ripe bananas, in this one in order to make it low FODMAP you will need to use (green) unripe banana. To make your bread sweeter simply add more brown sugar or maple syrup.

    *As a general rule always read the labels of the ingredients that you use as there can be sneaky FODMAP’s in any product. To educate yourself on which foods are high in FODMAP’s I’d strongly recommend downloading Monash Unversity FODMAP Diet App
