Gluten-Free Banana Bread with Tiger Nut Flour and Goji Berries
If you’re looking for a new twist on banana bread that’s gluten-free, nutrient-dense, and absolutely delicious, this Gluten-Free Banana Bread with Tiger Nut Flour and Goji Berries is a must-try. It’s naturally sweetened with ripe bananas and brown sugar, enhanced with the subtle nuttiness of tiger nut flour, and studded with chewy goji berries for a superfood boost. This recipe is perfect for busy families, anyone avoiding gluten, or those looking to include more nutrient-rich ingredients in their baking.
This recipe incorporates a couple of superfoods: BareOrganics Tiger Nut Flour and BareOrganics Goji Berries. Tiger nut flour, made from small root vegetables rather than actual nuts, is an excellent option for nut-free diets. It’s naturally gluten-free and packed with dietary fiber, iron, magnesium, and resistant starch—a type of prebiotic fiber that supports digestive health. BareOrganics offers a finely ground, organic version that blends beautifully into baked goods and adds a mild, slightly sweet flavor that complements banana bread perfectly.
Goji berries, often called “red diamonds,” are rich in antioxidants, vitamin A, and essential amino acids. They add natural sweetness and chewy texture to baked recipes and can be used in place of raisins in most dishes. In this banana bread, they provide a vibrant pop of color and a burst of nutrition in every bite. Soaking them briefly before mixing them in helps them plump up and blend seamlessly into the batter.
With nourishing ingredients like these, this banana bread isn’t just a treat—it’s a better-for-you option the whole family can enjoy.

Ingredients
- Gluten-free nonstick cooking spray
- ½ cup BareOrganics Goji Berries
- 1¼ cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
- ½ cup BareOrganics Tiger Nut Flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon kosher or fine sea salt
- 4 ripe bananas
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- ½ cup brown sugar, lightly packed
- ¼ cup Greek yogurt
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.
- Place goji berries in a small bowl and cover with water to soak for about 5 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, tiger nut flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
- In another mixing bowl, mash three of the bananas. Add the eggs, melted butter, brown sugar, yogurt, and vanilla. Fold the banana mixture into the flour mixture. Drain and dry the goji berries, save a few for the top of the loaf and add the rest to the batter. Do the same with the walnuts. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- Cut the last banana in half lengthwise and place on top of the batter, scatter some goji berries and walnuts and bake for 60 – 70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes then remove to a wire rack to finish cooling.
