banana bread slices with butter

Gluten Free Banana Bread

  • Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes
  • Yield: 1 loaf

Ingredients

1 cup mashed banana ( about 2-3 medium sized bananas)

2 eggs

3 Tbsp. coconut oil,( opt.)

3/4 cup brown sugar

1 tsp. Vanilla extract

1/2 cup buttermilk

1 1/3 cup All-in-One flour blend *see notes*

1/3 cup coconut flour

1/3 cup millet flour (you can also use sorghum flour here)

1/2 tsp. Cinnamon

1 tsp. Salt

1 tsp. Baking soda

1 tsp. Baking powder

2/3 cup chopped walnuts, opt.

Instructions

  1. In a mixer add the mashed banana, eggs, brown sugar, vanilla,  and buttermilk. Blend until smooth.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine the flours, cinnamon, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Whisk together to combine.
  3. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in the mixer. Add the walnuts, if using.
  4. With the mixer on medium speed, mix for at least 1 full minute to fully hydrate and combine all the gluten free flours.
  5. Let the batter rest for about 10-20 minutes.
  6. During this time preheat the oven to 350℉.
  7. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper and spray lightly with cooking spray or oil.
  8. Scoop the batter into the loaf pan.
  9. Bake for around 50 minutes, but use an internal thermometer for best results. The temperature should reach 180℉ in the center - this is the best way to tell if the loaf is done.
  10. Remove from the oven and use the parchment paper as handles to lift the loaf from the pan. Lay it on its side to cool. This helps prevent it from collapsing or flattening out on top.
  11. Refrain from slicing it until it’s cool. I know it will be hard, but if you slice it while it’s still too hot it will crumble.

 

Notes

All-in-One flour blend: I use my own recipe for this, which you can find here. You can also use Namaste’s Perfect flour blend, King Arthur’s Measure for Measure flour, Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free 1 to 1 Baking flour. Try any flour blend that contains xanthan gum - this recipe won’t work without a binder like that.
