This Super Moist Gluten-free Banana Bread is loaded with overripe bananas, Greek yogurt, and coconut oil. It’s moist, fluffy, light, and super flavorful.
You may think “Oh God, here she comes with one more banana bread to share. Isn’t that enough already with all the billions of banana bread recipes around the web?”. But what I have to say in my defense is; this recipe is not just another banana bread recipe. This is THE BEST gluten-free banana bread you’ll ever try and for this reason, I couldn’t wait one more day to share this recipe with you. I decided I won’t keep this incredible, super moist gluten-free banana bread out of your life anymore! I’m sure if you give this recipe a try it will become your favorite recipe of all the time. No kidding!! I know sounds like I am exaggerating but I promise you I am not.
You must be wondering why I’m so excited about this gluten-free banana bread. It’s because this is the moistest, melt-in-your-mouth banana bread I’ve ever tried before. Thanks to the overripe bananas, Greek yogurt, and melted coconut oil (this recipe doesn’t call for butter). It’s crispy on the outside but light and fluffy on the inside. It is sweetened with only half a cup of brown sugar. I don’t love an overly sweetened banana bread and this bread has just the perfect amount of sweetness. But if you like it sweeter, just add 3/4 cup of sugar instead of 1/2 cup.
Believe me, this gluten-free banana bread is what your body craves when the days are getting a little cold. It’s totally a cold weather comfort food for me. Whenever it gets cold out, I just start baking. Recently I made this Paleo Chocolate Chips Almond Flour Banana Bread, Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread, and Healthy Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread. They’re so easy to make. And since I had so much bananas from testing this banana bread recipe, I also made this Low-carb Blender Banana Bread to go in the freezer.

Super Moist Gluten-free Banana Bread
Ingredients
- 3 overripe bananas (it's about 1 cup)
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 5 tablespoons coconut oil melted
- 1/2 cup natural sweetener xylitol or any other sweetener of your preference
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
- 1 1/3 cups gluten-free flour if you don't want to make this bread gluten-free you can if all-propose flour too
- 1/2 cup sugar-free chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray a bread pan with non-stick spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas, Greek yogurt, egg, vanilla, melted coconut oil, and sweetener until evenly combined.
- In another bowl, add all of the dry ingredients and stir well.
- Mix the wet and dry together until combined.
- Add the chocolate chips and fold them into the batter.
- Pour the batter into the bread pan. Add extra chocolate chips on the top of the batter if you desire.
- Bake for about 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Tips
- My favorite sugar-free, dairy-free, and soy-free chocolate chips is Lily’s Chocolate chips as it’s made with natural stevia and real chocolate.
- The more ripe the bananas are, the easier they are to mash and the sweeter the banana and banana bread will be!
- I like to save a few chocolate chips to put on top of the bread before baking.
- To store: Store the bread in the fridge for up to a week or on the counter for 3 days. Make sure you use an airtight container.
- To freeze: You can freeze the bread for up to 3 months. You can freeze the bread in an individual slice or as a full loaf.

Banana bread! Yum. One of my favorite things ever. I love that this version is gluten free but still holds its moisture!
Olivia says
Thanks a lot, Annie!
Carol Kellum says
I made it today. Was so excited! Mine turned out mushy. cooked for almost 2 hours. It still was doughy & muchy. I didn’t have greek yogurt.. I used regular yogurt.
Olivia says
It’s very important that you use Greek yogurt because it’s much thicker than regular yogurt. Also do you mind sharing which type of flour do you use to make this recipe? Thanks!
Kektklik says
There’s a minor typo under the Ingredients. It should read “½ cup brown or raw sugar” — currently says “row”.
(feel free to delete my comment after you see it)
Olivia says
I will adjust the recipe to clear further confusion. Thanks for pointing it out!
Marie says
Does this recipe call for brown sugar? I don’t see it listed anywhere. Thanks
Olivia says
No, it’s not! It was a typo. I just fix it for you. Thanks for pointing it out!
Maria says
made it today, and i absolutely love it! thank you for the recipe
Olivia says
So glad you enjoy this recipe! Thanks a lot for your comment 😉
Olivia says
That’s awesome! Glad to hear that 😉
Rachel says
Does This work without the Greek yogurt?
Olivia says
Sorry, Rachel! I’ve never made this recipe without Greek Yogurt. You can try to replace the Greek yogurt for applesauce. Maybe it will work, but I am not 100% sure. If you try let me know how yours come out 😉
Bgoates says
Hi Olivia!
I was just wondering if you can substitute a different oil for the coconut oil?
Olivia says
you can use butter or sunflower oil!
Angela says
This is wonderful! Best banana bread I have made and I have tried a lot of recipes! Such a great texture and sweet, but not too sweet. Thanks so much for the recipe.
Olivia says
I’m so glad you hear that, Angela. I also think this is the best banana bread recipe. I love it 😉
Cinthya says
Hello, first of all I love your blog, wonderful and easy recipes. I’m from Ecuador so I’m used to eat as clean and natural as possible.
So, my question is can I make this banana bread with almond or oat meal FLOUR??
Thanks very much in advance
Olivia says
Hi, Cinthya. Happy you love my blog. That’s great. I’ve never made this recipe with almond flour or meal flour. But I have this recipe that is very similar and I used almond flour. I think you will love that http://www.primaverakitchen.com/low-carb-blender-banana-bread/
Alicia says
What are calories in this loaf?
Kathy Payton says
I didn’t have coconut oil so I used unsalted butter instead and it tasted delicious. My kids ate it all up. Great recipe ! I promised the kids in my high school class I’d make them chocolate chip banana bread, they were so pumped up about it, so we’ll see how that goes when I bring it next week to them.
Olivia says
Awesome! I feel so happy when kids enjoy my recipes 😉
Katherine T. Hollerith says
Do you have to include chocolate chips?
Olivia says
No you don’t need to, but I think it adds more flavour to the bread.
