Classic Gluten-Free Banana Bread (Vegan, Allergy-Free)

May 2, 2018 by Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine 56 Comments

There is nothing like a warm slice of homemade banana bread! This Classic Gluten-Free Banana Bread recipe is vegan, allergy-free, soft & moist, and perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a snack! It’s 8 ingredients, high protein, sugar-free, oil-free, and can even be made paleo & grain-free!

Sometimes you just need a slice of banana bread, right? The most classic quick bread known to man. So cozy and comforting; one of the only acceptable ways to use bananas (in my non-banana-liking opinion). Of course we can make fancy banana breads with blueberries or peanut butter, but sometimes I just want a slice straight up. A slice reminiscent of my gluten-filled childhood.Read More

The sweet and nutty classic Southern dessert now with a gluten-free and vegan recipe! Gluten-Free Hummingbird Loaf Cake topped with a delicious dairy-free cream cheese frosting and packed with pecans, banana, and pineapple!

Have you ever had some Hummingbird? Haha, don’t be silly, you know what I mean 😉 I had never had this classic Springtime Southern American cake until last month. I felt like carrot cake, morning glory cakes, and hummingbird cake all fall in that same sweet filled breakfasty cake category. This hefty loaf cake is packed with banana, pineapple, pecans, sweet and spice, and of course a killer cream cheese frosting (essential, again, to that trio!)Read More

A sweet and healthy seasonal breakfast recipe for a lazy and cold weekend morning! Banana Pumpkin Pancakes that are gluten-free, vegan, and nut-free making them perfect for any hungry mouth that needs feeding!

I like to balance my pumpkin out with a few other things. Not to let it be outshined during PUMPKIN season, but just because it is the season of the orange orb doesn’t mean we can just forget about all other food perfections. Now, I do have a multitude of pumpkin pancakes that are ready for devouring, but we can never have too many, so another one it is!Read More

Your frosty tropical cocktail favorite made without the alcohol and right in a blender with just 3 real ingredients! Virgin Banana Daiquiris that are gluten-free, vegan, and sugar-free you and even the kids can enjoy this healthy recipe!

Banana daiquiris hold such a dear place in my heart! I had my first one many years ago (we’re talking virgin!) at the Boathouse restaurant in Wildwood, NJ when we were down on our yearly “family vacation” for the NJ Fireman’s convention. I would look forward to going to one of our dinner there (we would end up going a few times over the week) just for that drink. I thought it was the greatest thing I ever tasted!Read More
