Description

This light and airy gluten-free banana bread is A-MAZ-ING! It’ll be gone in a jiff so you may want to double down.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 bananas
  • 2 large eggs, slightly beaten
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup coconut oil, melted + more for greasing loaf pan
  • 1 1/2 cups gluten-free flour with xanthan gum (I like Bob’s Red Mill 1-To-1)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F.
  2. Grease a 9″ x 5″ loaf pan with coconut oil.
  3. Melt coconut oil in a small pan or microwave and set aside to cool.
  4. In a large bowl, mash the bananas with a fork. Whisk in egg, coconut oil, and brown sugar until combined.
  5. In a medium bowl, sift together flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. With a large spoon, stir into the banana mixture until combined. Try not to over mix.
  6. Pour batter into a prepared loaf pan. Smooth out the top. Bake for 50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes then remove to rack and cool another 15 minutes.
  7. Have a slice while it’s still slightly warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • Can also be made with brown butter instead of coconut oil. Both versions are delicious!
  • Slather warm banana bread with butter, vegan butter, or cream cheese.
