A great gluten free banana bread made with over ripped bananas. The ingredients you probably already have at home. It tastes great and is gluten free, no one will know the difference. Cooking time is about 1 hour and cooling time of about 1 hour. After cooled you are good to slice it and enjoy.
This bread taste moist, slightly nutty and satisfying. You will enjoy and love this bread!
As a Registered Dietitian and a mom of a son with Celiac, I want to educate on a healthy gluten free diet.

Certified Gluten Free
Many manufacturers are catering to the growing gluten free consumer market by pursuing gluten free certification for their products. There are three organizations that offer this certification. The three are Gluten Free Certification Organization (GFCO), the Celiac Sprue Association(CSA), and the National Foundation for Celiac awareness(NFCA).

Food Label States Gluten Free
The FDA in August of 2013 announced its long awaited gluten free food labeling rule. This rule states that if a manufacturer chooses to put gluten free on a food it must have less than 20 parts per million of gluten. Manufacturers were encouraged to comply with the rule but had until August of 2014 to comply. There is no rule that gluten free products have to be labeled gluten free, however any product can choose to have gluten free on the label. Even foods like fruits and vegetables can be labeled gluten free. The choice is up to the manufacturer.

Foods High In Iron
We know that there are nutritional deficiencies seen in people with Celiac disease. These are more prevalent when first diagnosed. One deficiency we see is iron. The other common ones are fiber, calcium, zinc, vitamin D, magnesium, folate, vitamin B12, and protein. Today I will go over foods that are high in iron, to help prevent deficiencies, and keep them within range.
So how do we get more iron from our foods? Some foods can help your body absorb iron from iron rich foods, others can hinder it. To absorb the most iron from the foods you eat, avoid drinking coffee or tea or consuming calcium rich foods with meals containing iron rich foods. To improve absorption eat it along with a good source of vitamin C, such as orange juice, strawberries or broccoli.
There is heme iron that is from meat sources and better absorbed, and non heme iron from plant sources, which are healthier for you, and your body. If you have trouble getting enough iron from food sources, you may need an iron supplement.
