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

Instructions
 

Preparation

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