Try this Gluten Free Blackberry Banana Bread for a moist and delicious snack or breakfast. It's sweet, indulgent and so easy to make.
I love making my Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Banana Bread, but sometimes I like to switch it up, especially in the spring when I have access to fresh blackberries. These blackberries were super fresh and added a nice pop of sweetness in each bite.
I love experimenting with different quick breads and they are always a hit with the family. I mean come on, it's basically CAKE! Try the popular Gluten Free Banana Bread with Chocolate Chips and this Gluten Free Zucchini Bread.
Ingredients
- Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free 1 to 1 Flour - This is my favorite flour and I can't speak to any other substitutions in this banana bread.
- salt and baking soda - Baking soda will help the bread rise a bit.
- sugar - You can also use coconut sugar, brown sugar, and pure maple syrup.
- butter - Make sure it's unsalted butter. Melt it and let it cool.
- eggs - Large room temperature eggs
- vanilla - I like Rodelle's Pure Vanilla Extract
- bananas - Make sure you use ripe bananas for extra sweetness. I like to mash them really well so my kids can't find any chunks of bananas.
- blackberries - I only recommend fresh blackberries as frozen will give off too much liquid. Cut them in half so to spread the blackberry goodness around.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and place rack in the center of the oven.
- In a medium bowl whisk the flour, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
- In another bowl add the banana, eggs, vanilla, and cooled butter.
- Pour wet ingredients into dry and mix well. Add blackberries and stir gently.
- Pour into a greased loaf pan.
Tips and Substitutions
- This bread will last well on the counter wrapped in foil for a few days. Longer than that and I would store in the fridge.
- Feel free to use other gluten free flour blends that you are comfortable with but I have only tried Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 Baking Flour.
- If you want to make these vegan substitute vegan butter and egg replacer for the eggs.
- Preheat oven for 10 minutes and position rack in the center of the oven for the most even cooking.
- You can also serve this more like a dessert cake by adding a lemon or vanilla glaze.

This recipe was devine. I am making it again this morning! I did use Cassava flour and blueberries instead of the blackberries. I think I will try with the coconut sugar at some point as well. I wasn't sure about the instructions on #5 when it spoke of the chocolate chunks but i just overlooked that part. Great recipe!

So glad you liked it and I love hearing how you made it your own!

You say to add more chocolate chunks, but I don't see anywhere in the recipe where it calls for chocolate until the last step. How much?

This recipe is SO wonderful, when I was told by my doctor I need to go gluten-free, I was not thrilled! However, I’ve been making this banana bread and I have a slice for breakfast every morning and it starts my day off so happily! Thank you!

Thanks so much for letting me know. I love this one too!
