Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour use a 1:1 baking blend
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 3 ripe bananas mashed (about 1 1/2 cups)
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted and slightly cooled
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
Optional Add-ins
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or chocolate chips

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In another bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the eggs, melted butter, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Whisk until fully combined.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir until just combined — do not overmix.
  5. Fold in the chopped walnuts or chocolate chips if using.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 50–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

For extra moisture, add 2 tablespoons of Greek yogurt or sour cream to the batter. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
