Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease or line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.

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

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

Slowly add the dry ingredients into the banana mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan and spread it out with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Remove the pan from the oven and allow the banana bars to cool completely before cutting into squares or rectangles.
