Low-FODMAP Banana Bread

Banana bread happens to be one of my most favorite treats. When I was in high school I would come home from school and find that my mom had made a loaf during the day. I’d cozy up with a magazine, a cup of hot cocoa and a slice of fresh banana bread for my after-school wind-down. Great memories. I’m glad I finally came up with a recipe good enough to share!

Low-FODMAP Banana Bread

If you are able to tolerate a small amount of ripe banana, you should be able to tolerate this banana bread. According to Monash University, a third of a ripe banana should be tolerable to most people with IBS. This bread can be sweetened with powdered dextrose if you are extra sensitive to fructose, or it can be made with regular sugar.

  1. I just discovered your blog and love it! Do you have a newsletter sign-up??? 😉

     
  2. Glad you like my blog! No, I don't have a newsletter, but you can follow me on Facebook (link is over on the right side).

     
  3. Can we replace potato starch with tapioca flour? It's easy to find tapioca flour in my area. So it would be total six tablespoons of tapioca flour. Thanks!

     
  4. Yes, I think that would be fine.

     
  5. Do you think it would work with just an GF all-purpose flour? I have that on hand so it would be easier, but I don't want to waste it in case it won't work.
    Thanks!
    Looks yummy!

     
  6. Yes, it should work fine with an all-purpose flour. Use about 1 cup.

     
  7. What about xantam gum? It's not needed in this recipe?

     
  8. Nope, I designed the recipe to not require any gums since I am sensitive to them.
