FAQS:
Which gluten-free flour do use for this gluten-free dairy-free banana bread?
I used Bob Red Mill’s Gluten-Free 1:1 Baking Flour and oat flour in this recipe (not sponsored). This is my go-to flour because it seems resemble regular all purpose flour very well.
What makes this moist banana bread “moist”?
Step 5 of the recipe calls for letting the batter rest for 45 minutes. This step allows the flours to absorb moisture and leads to the bread retaining moisture throughout baking. In addition, this recipe calls for oat flour which by default, absorbs more moisture than regular flour which contributes to the moisture levels in the final product.
How do I make oat flour?
Simply add approximately 3/4 cup gluten-free rolled oats to a blender and pulse until the oats break down into particles and resembles flour. Scoop out 1/2 cup of this flour and add to batter. Either save the remaining oat flour for future recipes or add it back to your rolled oats.
