Ingredients

• 3 large Overripe bananas, mashed
• 1.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Walnuts, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Stir well to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly mixed.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar until combined and smooth.

Step 4

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat well until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Stir in the mashed bananas and mix until the mixture is smooth.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredient mix to the wet ingredients, folding gently with a spatula just until no pockets of flour remain.

Step 7

Fold in the chopped walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 8

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

Step 9

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

Step 10

Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Slice and serve warm, or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
