Ingredients

• 3 large ripe bananas
• 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoons cinnamon
• 2 large eggs
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
• 0.75 cups brown sugar
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons milk (or dairy-free alternative)
• 0.5 cups 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.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until mostly smooth.

Step 4

Add the eggs, melted butter, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and milk to the mashed bananas. Whisk until well combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

If desired, fold in the chopped walnuts or chocolate chips at this stage.

Step 7

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

Step 8

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

Step 9

Remove from the oven and allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Slice and enjoy your delicious gluten-free banana bread! Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
