I love a banana bread and I didn’t make one for a while. One of the reasons is that the gluten free versions that I tried in the past, sourced from online recipes, usually turned out very
dry and close-textured. I needed to try and make it a Low FODMAP banana bread.
 
This time my challenge was not only to create a gluten free, but also a sugar free loaf. It is not about a natural sugar, coming from an unriped bananas, but ADDED SUGAR in a form of for example a white sugar, brown sugar, maple syrup etc.
 
I reached for a “Healthy Baking” book by Teresa Cutter and I found a recipe there for a gluten free banana bread, but unfortunately it used a coconut flour, which is high FODMAP.
It had to be replaced with my own blend of gluten free flours and swapped honey for erythritol, to have no added sugars as well as avoid honey which is high FODMAP.  Also, I added some walnuts for a crunchy topping.
 
The result is a lovely, moist banana bread, with a bit of crunch coming from the chia seeds in the loaf and the walnuts on the top.
