Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 3 large ripe bananas The spottier, the better
  • 2 units eggs Room temperature works best
  • 1/3 cup melted coconut oil or butter
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar You can use half coconut sugar for a variation
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups gluten-free flour blend The kind with xanthan gum is recommended
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 pinch salt Don't skip the salt, it enhances sweetness
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon Optional for added flavor

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Mash the bananas in a bowl until smooth.
  3. Add eggs, melted coconut oil or butter, vanilla extract, and brown sugar to the bowl. Mix until combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the gluten-free flour blend, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just mixed. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Allow the bread to cool before slicing.

Notes

Best to let bananas go fully brown for maximum flavor. You can also include mix-ins like chocolate chips or nuts. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes before baking for a better texture.
