Healthy Gluten Free Banana Bread

This recipe is so delicious, super easy and such a healthy alternative to the traditional banana bread. In this recipe we will be using honey instead of sugar but if you prefer to use sugar then simply replace it using the same amount that the recipe calls for. The same goes for flour. If you prefer to not make this gluten free then simply replace the flour for any all-purpose flour. I hope you all enjoy it and as always please share all of your creations with us on social and in the Baketivity Community group page on Facebook! :) Ingredients:

4-5 ripe bananas mashed
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup butter (melted)
2 eggs
1 Tbsp. milk
1 tsp. vanilla
2 cups gluten free flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. salt

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 350° F and grease a loaf pan (you can also make turn these into muffins) with a non stick spray.
In a medium sized bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt then set aside.
In a separate bowl mash the bananas using a fork or a potato masher until they are all broken down.
Add in the honey and butter then whisk until everything is nicely combined.
Add in the eggs one at a time stirring in between each addition. Then add vanilla.
Slowly pour the dry ingredients into the banana mixture and stir everything together until it is just combined.
Pour the batter in the loaf pan then use a spoon to spread the top down evenly.
Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Let the banana bread cool down before cutting a slice (I know it's so hard but be patient!).
That's it! Enjoy!

Enjoy with:

Melted butter
Cream cheese
nutella
peanut butter
toasted with a drizzle of maple syrup
fresh fruit

Frequently asked questions

What comes in a Baketivity baking kit?

Each Baketivity baking kit includes pre-measured dry ingredients, easy step-by-step instructions, and fun educational activities designed for kids. Our recipes are created to help children learn real kitchen skills while baking something delicious with their family.

Do I need to buy additional ingredients?

You may only need to add a few fresh ingredients like eggs, butter, or milk, depending on the recipe. Most of the dry ingredients come pre-measured in the kit, making baking simple, convenient, and mess-free for kids.

What equipment do I need to use the baking kits?

Most families already have everything they need at home. Typically you'll need mixing bowls, a whisk, fork or spoon, measuring cups, and a lined baking pan. Some recipes may also require a microwave-safe bowl or oven.

What age are Baketivity baking kits best for?

Baketivity baking kits are designed for kids ages 4–16. Younger children may need a little help from a parent, while older kids can follow the instructions more independently and build confidence in the kitchen.

Do your baking kits contain nuts?

Nuts are not directly included in the recipes or ingredient lists. However, some components may be produced in facilities that also process nuts, sesame seeds, soy, and gluten, so trace amounts may be present.

Are Baketivity baking kits kosher?

Yes! All ingredients included in Baketivity baking kits are OU-certified kosher, and our facility is FDA-approved, so families can bake and enjoy their treats with confidence.

My ingredients feel hard or clumpy. Is that normal?

Yes! Our ingredients are vacuum-packed to keep them fresh, which can sometimes make them feel firm or clumpy. Simply open the bag and give it a shake, and the ingredients will loosen up and be ready to use.
