Ingredients

  • 1 cup 1:1 gluten-free flour (recommended: King Arthur Flour Measure for Measure)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 cup mashed banana (about 2-3 medium ripe bananas)
  • 1/3 cup vegetable or avocado oil
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar (lightly packed)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your banana bread will bake evenly.
  • Grease your loaf pan with a little oil or line it with parchment paper for easy removal after baking.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Whisk them together until well mixed.
  • In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas using a fork or potato masher until smooth. Add the vegetable or avocado oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until everything is well combined and smooth.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold them together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Once baked, remove the banana bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
