Gluten-Free Pistachio Banana Bread

 

Gluten-Free Pistachio Banana Bread

This gluten-free treat is delicious and relatively low-sugar and high-protein. It is egg-free and can be made with a substitution of non-dairy milk to be dairy-free (and vegan) as well. It's sweet and tasty without being overly sweet, and it works well as a breakfast, a side dish, or even a dessert. This one is a personal favorite at my household!

 

Ingredients

¾ cup almond flour

½ cup rolled oats, ground into oat flour(use a food processor)

1 medium ripe banana (~½ cup mashed)

¾ cup milk

¼ cup finely ground pistachios (use a food processor)

2 Tbsp chopped pistachios, for texture

1 Tbsp maple syrup

1 tsp vanilla

1½ tsp baking powder

½ tsp cinnamon

¼ tsp salt

 

Instructions  

Preheat the oven to 350 and line an 8 by 8 pan.

Mash the banana thoroughly and mix with milk, syrup, and vanilla.

Stir in ground oats, ground pistachios, almond flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.

Fold in chopped pistachios.

Spread in pan, sprinkling more pistachios if you want.

Bake for 27-32 minutes, or until set in the center and a toothpick comes out mostly clean.

Cool for at least 15 minutes.
