I’ve tried a lot of banana bread in my day. Let’s just say I know my way around a loaf. And listen—Gonanas is not your average banana bread mix. Every single flavor I’ve tried has been amazing. You blink and somehow your loaf is half gone. (Weird how that keeps happening.)
Gonanas is a woman-owned company that makes allergen-friendly, vegan, gluten-free banana bread mixes. But don’t let the health buzzwords scare you off—this stuff is legit. No weird textures. No weird taste. Just full-on delicious banana bread that happens to be made with better-for-you ingredients. It’s easy to make, tastes like a treat, and makes your kitchen smell like a dream.
And they’re not playing it safe with the flavors. We’re talking things like Birthday Cake, Pumpkin Spice, and Chocolate Chip. I have loved every single one that I have tried.
This flavor would be amazing for Springtime brunch. The warm spices hit just right—think cinnamon and nutmeg! Plus, you get the nostalgic vibe of carrot cake, but without it being overly sweet or frosting-dependent.
There’s also something really satisfying about the texture. It’s soft but not mushy, with a nice chew from the carrots and bits of oat and a crisp, not soggy outside. And yes, it still tastes like banana bread—just banana bread that got all dressed up for spring.
Pro Tip: I added spring sprinkles to mine because obviously and of course I highly recommend you do the same. It turned into this confetti-topped banana bread loaf that looked like it came from a bakery.
If you’re looking for a fun seasonal bake that doesn’t require measuring a dozen ingredients, this mix is it. Actually, any Gonanas mix is it.
Go grab the Carrot Cake Banana Bread (or honestly any of their flavors) and join me in my banana bread obsession. You’ll love it.
Highly recommend. 10/10 would loaf again.
Buttery, sweet sugar cookie cups filled with vanilla buttercream and rainbow sprinkles!
