Gluten-Free: Banana Bread

A Soft, Spiced loaf, Infused with Island Warmth

A Gluten-Free Banana Bread That Doesn’t Hold Back

Who says gluten-free can’t be indulgent? This banana bread is proof that you can have it all, moist texture, rich banana flavor, and a perfectly tender crumb, all with a little island-inspired magic stirred in.

This isn’t your everyday banana loaf. It’s the kind of recipe that fills your kitchen with the scent of cinnamon and toasted sugar, makes you linger a little longer at the counter, and has everyone asking for the recipe after just one bite. The secret? A splash of Kōloa Spice Rum. Just ¼ cup adds warm notes of caramel, vanilla, and a whisper of spice that brings everything together, soft bananas, cozy cinnamon, and just the right touch of sweetness.

It also happens to be gluten-free, but you’d never know it by the texture. It’s tender without being crumbly, rich without being dense, and bakes up beautifully every time. Coconut oil and sour cream (or your favorite dairy-free stand-in) add moisture, while deeply ripe bananas give that classic flavor we all love.

This is banana bread with purpose, thoughtfully crafted, warmly spiced, and just a little bit spirited. Whether you’re baking for yourself, a brunch crowd, or stashing slices in the freezer for later, this loaf brings comfort, joy, and a tropical twist to a timeless favorite.
