Vegan Sourdough Peanut Butter Banana Bread

This gluten free and vegan Sourdough Peanut Butter Banana Bread is the best banana bread I have ever made! It is quick to mix together, easy to bake, and slices beautifully. Hands down, this recipe will be the Vegan Banana Bread recipe I make the most from now on!

The peanut butter adds a delicious twist to a classic banana bread recipe, and the hint of sourdough flavor gives a subtle depth to the recipe that is super unique. If you have not heard of sourdough, this is a form of fermentation that breaks down grains to make them easier to digest. The neat thing about this recipe is that it will work for regular and gluten free sourdough starters!

I hope to write more about sourdough and fermentation in the future, but my absolute favorite resource is @simplelifebykels on Instagram! If you are interested in making your own sourdough, go check out her page because she has an entire IGtv series on sourdough and starters!

If you try this recipe, let me know! I would love to see your comments and ratings on this recipe. In addition, you can tag photos of your dishes for me to see on Instagram using #gwynnieclemons.

Best wishes and shalom, friends!

  • 1 cup sourdough starter (gluten free or regular wheat sourdough starter)
  • 1.5 cups brown rice flour (or wheat flour)

The serving sizes are basic estimates based upon the servings my husband and I use to reach fullness and satiety when eating this recipe. Please remember to honor your hunger and fullness by eating more when you are hungry and stopping when you are satisfied.
Please, only use doTERRA essential oils internally because they are the only essential oil company with Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade (CPTG) quality!

      I got started using a Cultures For Health gluten free sourdough starter! I use a mix of brown rice flour and buckwheat flour to feed it, and it works super well. There are directions for feeding in the starter package. Hope that helps!
