Raspberry Banana Bread is light, easy to make and naturally gluten free. This fun twist on banana bread is very freezer friendly so you can freeze some for a quick, healthy snack!
Your favorite banana bread just got a whole lot tastier! Fresh raspberries add a wonderful sweetness to an already delicious, classic bread.
The best part, it's gluten-free but still moist with a wonderful texture.
Give me aaaaalllllll the berries.
I don't discriminate, I love all berries, especially in the summer.
But I do buy berries all year long, especially for my boys. They love them so I buy them knowing they are eating something healthy and packed with antioxidants.
Berries this time of year are amazing. And if you are lucky enough to go berry picking, you will have a whole bunch extra laying around.
Why not make this bread? The texture is so light you won't even now it's gluten free.

Raspberry Banana Bread
While I was writing The Everything Wheat Free Diet Cookbook, I realized just how difficult it can be to bake gluten-free.
I have these delicious gluten free scones that I created for the cookbook and I had to make them 8 TIMES to get them perfect. 8 TIMES!!
It was so frustrating. Baking with gluten free flours can be so challenging because it is not always easy getting he texture to be similar to regular breads or whatever baked good you are making.
Yes, I was about to lose my mind, but once I got them juuuuust right, they were ridiculously, insanely delicious. So, the moral of the story is, while baking gluten-free can be frustrating, once you perfect the recipe, you won't even believe that you are eating gluten-free!
This scrumptious bread is a perfect example of that!
And yes, when I do create recipes for you guys I do keep making them over and over again until they come out perfect and exactly how I want them. I am not going to share a recipe that is just fine.
I only share delicious recipes that I feel good about. And this raspberry banana bread is a perfect example of just that.
Recipe Tips for Making This Raspberry Banana Bread
I have made this bread many times using blueberries, strawberries, a combination of mixed berries and cranberries! The cranberry version was so pretty and festive for the holidays.
But you get the idea, you can easily customize this bread to whatever you'd like and whatever you have in the house.
My original recipe that I wrote for my cookbook contained brown rice flour but I have since updated it using all purpose gluten free flour since it is much easier to find in grocery stores. You can still use brown rice flour if you want, I just want to offer alternatives.
All purpose gluten free flour is actually a blend of white rice flour, brown rice flour, potato starch and some other ingredients.

I have been trying to get your Strawberry-Banana Baked Oatmeal Recipe and when I go to the page it tells me to go to another page to get the full recipe but I click there and it gives me the same page lol. Kinda like ring around the Rosie. I believe it was sponsored by a company and we were to click the link and it doesnt take us there. <3
