Ingredients

• 3 ripe bananas
• 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 eggs
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 0.75 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup chopped walnuts
• 1 teaspoon gluten-free baking powder

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, mash the bananas using a fork or potato masher until completely smooth. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and gluten-free baking powder until well combined.

Step 4

In another bowl, beat the eggs using a hand mixer or whisk until they are slightly frothy. Add the melted butter, brown sugar, and vanilla extract, and blend until smooth.

Step 5

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, and gently stir with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the mashed bananas and chopped walnuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Run a knife around the edges to loosen it, then transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 10

Enjoy your homemade gluten-free banana nut bread as a delightful snack or breakfast treat!
