Flourless Peanut Butter & Jelly Banana Bread for an easy gluten & dairy-free recipe
Well friends, it does not get any better than this right here. Because Peanut Butter & Jelly BANANA BREAD is happening right here, right now.
It was only a matter of time into these two collided. Peanut Butter & Jelly, my go-to lunch option since I could swallow real food. The best sandwich for the non-meat eater, sweets-craving girl who basically just looks for a reason it eat more peanut butter daily. I mean, I know I am not alone in this people, come on. And now, Banana Bread, the recipe category that is slowly but surely taking over my blog. Hence why we have a ton of banana bread recipes recently 🙂
First of all, this Flourless Peanut Butter & Jelly Banana Bread is one of the most flavorful banana breads I have ever made. Being that is even gluten & dairy-free, I am pretty sure this loaf is a game changer.
There are many words that I can use to describe this recipe but I am also about to say a word that many of you probably get grossed out by (hope you still love me).
This banana bread is seriously so moist. Yup, I said it. Do you hate me now? Sorry but there is no better word to describe the consistency of this bread. It is fluffy and has this extra moist texture to it thanks to a special ingredient. I used coconut milk yogurt in it for a little extra oomph.
For those of you who are scratching your heads asking “what the beep is coconut milk yogurt?”, well your lives are about to change people. Because coconut milk and almond milk yogurt are the best dairy-free yogurts. Whether you eat dairy or not, you will love these yogurts.
I used Coconut DREAM yogurt in this banana bread. DREAM is a plant-based company that offers a variety of yogurts in addition to dairy-free milks and frozen products. The best part? They are all dairy-free! Amazing, I know. But for this post we are focusing on their plant-based yogurts. I have been eating the Almond DREAM and Coconut DREAM yogurts and am obsessed. Also they come in a variety of flavors like plain, vanilla and various fruits. Another reason why I love them.
At first I was hesitant on adding yogurt to a banana bread recipe. Because this banana bread is made with coconut flour, the coconut yogurt compliments it really well and the consistency is on point. As a result we have some deliciously soft, moist and healthy Flourless Peanut Butter & Jelly Banana Bread.
Finally, if you make this recipe or any of my banana bread recipes, please don’t forget to share it on Instagram or your favorite social media channel. So many of you have been tagging me and sharing your favorite recipes from the blog and it makes me so happy!

I’m so game for ANYTHING PB&J!!! I love how the jam on top glistens, oh my gosh it looks so moist and delicious. I’ve never tried this brand of coconut milk yogurt, but it looks so creamy. Can you find them at Whole Foods?

This sounds and looks delicious! Do you think I could sub the coconut flour for almond flour?
Rachel
Thank you, Kathryn! No, I do not recommend subbing another flour here. If you prefer almond please see my Paleo Blueberry Banana Bread or Paleo Cinnamon Streusel Banana Bread! xx

PB and J sounds amazing with banana bread- and that Coconut Dream yogurt sounds epic, gotta try it!
cassie
could i use siggis yogurt in this recipe? its just what i have on hand
Rachel
yes!
Mary
Would I be able to substitute peanut butter powder for the peanut butter? After mixing it with water
Rachel
I recommend using actual peanut butter, you need the creaminess and that butter consistency to make up for the lack of butter in this recipe!
Kim
What are the calories, fat, carbs per serving?
Rachel
I’m not sure. I don’t count calories/carbs/fat for my recipes as I just focus on eating whole foods and ingredients that are clean. You can plug the recipe into an online calculator if you need the breakdown though! xx
