Ingredients

• 3 medium Ripe bananas
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.33 cup Unsalted butter (melted) or coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
• 1.75 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour (with xanthan gum included)
• 0.75 cup Brown sugar (packed)
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts or chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas with a fork until smooth. Add the eggs, melted butter (or coconut oil), and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender.

Step 5

If using chopped walnuts or chocolate chips, fold them into the batter at this stage.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 50–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the loaf pan from the oven and let the banana bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 9

Slice and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to a week.
