      I used gluten free plain flour plus 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder. You could also use Gluten Free Self Raising flour.
      Instead of LSA I used almond meal and a mix of different nuts and seeds from the pantry.
      I replaced the castor sugar with 1/2 cup of coconut sugar and it was absolutely sweet enough.
      I used grapeseed oil instead of olive oil. I think any other vegetable or nut oil would be fine.
      This banana bread is delicious and easy to make. It is so much better than any of the banana breads we’ve had in a cafe.
      It is a classic “are you sure this is gluten free?” That’s how good it is 🙂
