Low FODMAP Banana Orange Bread

A healthy and delicious low FODMAP banana orange bread recipe with carrots, walnuts and dried cranberries. A low FODMAP, gluten free and vegan cake that tastes naughty!

I was craving for a healthy low FODMAP banana bread for my birthday. Problem was it was quite hard to find a recipe that worked. It seemed like an impossible mission at the time but then my very good friend Julia saved me! She showed me Harry Eastwood’s wonderful book Red Velvet and Chocolate Heartache. This book helped me find the joy of baking desserts that could please everybody. I tried out a couple of recipes and they were an instant success amongst friends and family.

This low FODMAP Banana Orange Bread is actually a combination of two of Harry Eastwood’s natural cake recipes: cinnamon banana bread and carrot cake. And because most of her recipes are already gluten and dairy free, it was easy to adapted to vegan and low FODMAP.

I was very happy to have (and share) my cake and eat it for my birthday! A Low FODMAP Banana bread that tastes really naughty! It’s a pleasure to share it with all you sensitive guts out there.
