Why Choose Brown Rice Flour Banana Bread?
Brown rice flour banana bread is a healthy twist on the traditional banana bread recipe.
By substituting wheat flour with rice flour, you create a gluten free banana bread alternative that's perfect for those with celiac disease or gluten intolerance.
Because of the bananas, rice flour banana bread retains the moisture and dense texture that you find in classic banana breads, even after switching out the flour to a gluten free alternative.
However, the brown rice flour has a slightly nuttier flavor compared to wheat flour. This adds more flavor to the banana bread while also delivering extra health benefits.
Health Benefits of Brown Rice Flour
Using brown rice flour in your baking is a great way to make gluten free recipes but also add some extra health benefits.
Unlike white rice flour, which is more refined, brown rice flour retains the bran and germ of the rice grain, which retains the healthy nutrients that are naturally in the rice.
Brown rice flour is finely grounded down brown Japonica rice. This brown rice is rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals, which can contribute to a balanced diet.
Brown rice flour also aids digestion due to its high fiber content and provides long-lasting energy.

Tips for Perfect Rice Flour Banana Bread
Use Overripe Bananas
The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your banana bread will be. Overripe bananas with plenty of brown spots are perfect!
If you have bananas that are overripe, but you aren’t ready to bake your rice flour banana bread yet, you can freeze them!
When you are ready to start baking, just take your frozen bananas out and let them defrost on the counter for 2 hours or in the fridge overnight.
If you need to defrost your bananas quicker, try sticking them in the microwave. For a bundle of 4 bananas microwave on low for 3-4 minutes.
Measure Flour Correctly
For the best results, spoon the rice flour into your measuring cup and level it off with a knife.
This tip may seem obvious but if you put too much brown rice flour in the recipe it can lead to dry crumbly banana bread. No one likes that!
Store Properly
To keep your rice flour banana bread fresh, store it in an airtight container at room temperature. Your banana bread will last up to three days.
For longer storage, wrap it tightly and freeze it for up to three months.

Prep time: 5 minutes
Cooke time: 50-60 minutes
Total time: 55-65 minutes
Servings: 1 Loaf
What You Will Need
- 1 1/2 cups Chico Rice Brown Rice Flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 cup of melted butter
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 3 ripe bananas (mashed)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or chocolate chips (optional)
Cooking Instructions
- Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper to ensure your rice flour banana bread doesn’t stick.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the Chico Rice Brown Rice Flour, baking powder, and baking soda
- In a separate bowl, mix the melted butter, brown sugar until well combined. Add the egg and beat well. Stir in the mashed bananas and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until combined. Be careful not to over-mix, as this can affect the texture of your rice flour banana bread. If desired, fold in the chopped walnuts or chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The top should be golden brown and slightly cracked.
- Allow the rice flour banana bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
