Ingredients
– 2 to 3 very ripe bananas mashed (about 1 cup)
– 1 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/3 cup unsalted butter melted (can be substituted with dairy-free butter or coconut oil)
– 3/4 cup granulated sugar (alternatives include brown sugar, maple syrup, or monk fruit sweetener)
– Pinch of salt
– 2 large eggs beaten (vegan options: chia or flax eggs, or egg replacer)
– 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (optional)
– 1 1/2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour with xanthan gum (if your flour blend does not contain xanthan gum, add 1/4 teaspoon separately)
– 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum (omit if included in the flour blend)
Instructions
1-Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease a 4×8 inch loaf pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
2-In a bowl, mash bananas until smooth for that natural sweetness and moisture.
3-Stir in baking soda to help the bread rise properly.
4-Mix in melted butter to add richness and keep the texture soft.
5-Add sugar, salt, beaten eggs, and vanilla extract; blend well to combine all flavors.
6-Incorporate gluten-free flour and xanthan gum; mix until just combined to avoid a dense loaf.
7-Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top for even baking.
8-Bake on the middle oven rack for 50 minutes to 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean (baking time may vary based on your oven).
9-Allow to cool completely before slicing and serving to maintain the bread’s structure.
