Banana Bars: Because Banana Bread is So Last Season
Gluten Free Banana Bars with Cream Cheese Frosting
Do you have some ripe bananas hanging out on your kitchen counter and don’t want to bake another gluten free banana bread? Turn them into the easiest Gluten Free Banana Bars with Cream Cheese Frosting. Like seriously easy. You may can call it a “one bowl wonder”.
The beauty of Banana Bars lies in their simplicity. You don’t need anything fancy - just ripe bananas, gluten-free flour (King Arthur Measure for Measure works great here), eggs, and a few pantry staples. The bananas provide natural sweetness and moisture, so the bars stay soft for days.
Banana bars are incredibly versatile. Serve them as an afternoon snack with coffee, bring them to a potluck, or just have a piece with your morning coffee (it’s fruit - so it’s healthy… right?)
(And PS: There is absolutely nothing wrong with baking another loaf of my gluten free banana bread… it’s delicious)

What to bake this week
Gluten Free Graham Crackers: Whether you enjoy them dunked in milk, paired with chocolate and marshmallows for the best homemade s’mores ever, or crumbled into a delicious crust, these graham crackers are a must-try!
Gluten Free Carrot Coffee Cake: I do love a good coffee cake and this Gluten Free Carrot Coffee Cake is an absolute winner, whether it's for Easter Brunch or any time of the year. Because Carrot Cake should be a thing year-round. Packed with finely grated carrots and warm spices, this moist and tender cake has a deliciously rich flavor. And don't forget the buttery walnut streusel topping which makes the cake.
Gluten Free Iced Oatmeal Cookies: Gluten Free Iced Oatmeal Cookies are my go-to sweet and comforting treat. With a chewy, hearty texture from gluten-free oats and a crackling vanilla glaze, they’re irresistible!
Gluten Free Rhubarb Coffee Cake: Rhubarb season IS coming and I am super excited about this. Especially because I am so ready for a piece of this rhubarb coffee cake. Picture a tender gluten free vanilla cake topped with tangy, juicy rhubarb and a generous layer of sweet, crunchy streusel. The contrast between the tart rhubarb and the sugary topping is simply perfect.
Wishing you a relaxing Sunday and Happy Baking!
Here it to a better week….
