Makes a super banana bread that tastes great warm or cold and stays moist – even after a few days! You may want to make two of these so you can have enough for banana bread french toast in the morning. Amazing!
My mom brought one of these over the other night. She’d made it using Cup 4 Cup gluten free flour and it was exceptionally good. Below you’ll find two versions of this recipe. Our old one – which is gluten and dairy free and is also great – and one using Cup 4 Cup flour which is shown in the photo above.

What you’ll need:
½ cup Miracle Whip
WARNING: Geoff has never had a reaction to Miracle Whip, but we have heard from readers that Kraft does not guarantee that it is completely gluten free. Please see Kraft’s statement on gluten labeling here.
1 egg
3 ripe bananas, mashed
TIP: To ripen bananas, leave in your freezer overnight.
1 teaspoon xanthan gum
¼ cup coconut flour
3/4 cup rice flour
¼ cup four flour blend or other all purpose gf flour
TIP: Or you can use a full cup of rice flour and omit the all purpose. It’s here really just to lighten the blend a bit.
TIP: Replace the xanthan gum, coconut flour, rice flour, and four flour blend with Cup 4 Cup all purpose gf flour. Note that Cup 4 Cup is not dairy free.
1 cup sugar
½ cup chopped nuts or chocolate chips (optional)
1 teaspoon gluten free baking soda
1 teaspoon salt

As soon as I get some fresh coconut flour I’m trying this (and then the French toast). Thanks for reading my blog. 🙂
You’re welcome. And thanks for checking out gf and me!

Looks so good! Miracle whip…would never have thought to use something like that!
Me neither. It’s actually one of my mom’s recipes. The miracle whip seems to make it nice and moist.
Yum! Love banana bread!
Yeah, we do too!
I remember this one. 🙂 This was the recipe that was next on my list of things to make before we did the allergy testing and found the coconut allergy. I still think it sounds so fascinating…using Miracle Whip. Is it kind of the same results as using mayo in chocolate cake?
I would think it would be the same. And you should be able to use almond flour instead of the coconut – or try cup-4-cup. Thanks for reading!
