Ingredients

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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher.

Step 3

Add the melted butter to the mashed bananas and stir until well combined.

Step 4

Mix in the brown sugar, beating until the mixture is smooth. Then, add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Step 5

Stir in the vanilla extract and yogurt until the mixture is thoroughly mixed and integrated.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, folding gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Slice into squares and serve. Enjoy your gluten-free banana snack cake as is, or topped with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream.
