Banana Walnut Bread (Gluten Free / Dairy Free)

Who knew banana bread was such a hot button issue?! I asked my followers on Facebook if they like their banana bread with or without nuts and it was just about split down the middle. You can still go make your voice known over on my page. What prompted this deep discussion on this age-old bread was a stack of overripe bananas laying on my counter that I need to make something into. I know a lot of people just throw them away, but I encourage you not too. If you don’t have the time to make a smoothie or banana walnut bread with them, peel them and throw them in a freezer bag for later. You will use them!

Whether you use nuts or not, banana bread is a classic! If I make it for friends, I always ask or just leave out the nuts. This recipe does use almond flour so you can just substitute the gluten-free flour for the whole thing. I love the texture that almond flour gives baked goods. If you aren’t eating gluten-free, you can substitute regular all-purpose flour for all the flour listed in the recipe.
