This isn't just any banana bread; it's a hug in baked form. A real treat for a morning pick-me-up or afternoon treat, and the best part, it's actually good for you! And lets not forget the amazing aroma that fills the kitchen as it bakes, who can forget that? This recipe is a testament to the fact that healthy can be utterly delicious. I never believe anything until I have tried it myself. One of my buddies told me about their banana bread, who knew there were so many different recipes.
What makes this banana bread so special? Well, the combination of turmeric and ginger not only adds a unique flavor profile but also brings a wealth of health benefits. Turmeric is known for its anti-inflammatory properties, while ginger aids digestion and boosts immunity. Plus, using gluten-free flour makes it accessible to those with dietary restrictions, ensuring everyone can enjoy a slice of happiness. It's also the perfect way to use up those overripe bananas sitting on your counter, you know, the ones you keep promising you’ll eat. Lets be honest, they were going to end up in the trash.

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. I swear by parchment paper; it makes clean-up a breeze!
- In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until they're nice and smooth. A few lumps are okay, it gives it character. Anyone ever try mashing bananas with a fork its a work out.
- Add the melted coconut oil, eggs, sweetener (honey or maple syrup), and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Whisk everything together until well combined. Be sure to get everything at the bottom of the bowl, don't want to miss out any delicious bits.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, ground turmeric, ground ginger, baking soda, and salt. Make sure there are no lumps. Lumps just don't belong here.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Don't overmix! A few streaks of flour are fine. The secret to a good banana bread is not to mix too much.
- Pour the batter onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it evenly. It should be about 1/2 inch thick. Make sure it reaches all corners. Unless you prefer uneven slices, I have tried it and I do not.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Keep an eye on it; ovens can be sneaky! A slight browning of the edges is desired.
- Let the banana bread cool completely on the baking sheet before slicing and serving. Patience is a virtue, especially when it comes to baked goods! Trust me, the wait is worth it.
- Slice the banana bread and serve. Enjoy the warm, comforting flavors of turmeric, ginger, and sweet banana. Its great served along side a cup of coffee or tea!
