This recipe for gluten free banana bread bars is my exact gluten free banana bread recipe with one very small change. The only difference is that I baked the bread in a 9×9 pan instead of a loaf pan.

Baking the bread in a square pan produces a fluffy, moist banana bread bar that?s super portable and great for snacking.
The best part is that baking in a shallow pan means the bread bakes in half the time as it would in a loaf pan. Instead of taking about 55 minutes to bake all the way through, the banana bread bars are done in just under 30 minutes. And if you?ve baked a lot of gluten free quick breads, you?ll know that you can?t slice into one when it?s still warm because it?ll crumble. With the bars, you can cut them and enjoy them while they?re still warm.
These banana bread bars are so moist and fluffy, it?s almost like eating cake. I?ve seen a lot of bar recipes that call for frosting or icing but for the sake of keeping this breakfast food, I decided to keep these plain.
