Description

Make a moist, naturally sweet banana bread using ripe bananas for sweetness instead of refined sugar. This recipe uses gluten-free flour for a wholesome treat.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large eggs at room temperature
  • 1/4 cup nut milk at room temperature
  • 1/4 cup avocado oil
  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 cups over-ripe bananas mashed
  • 1 1/2 cups gluten-free flour blend
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
  2. Grease a 1-pound loaf tin and set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, add the eggs, nut milk, avocado oil, coconut sugar, and vanilla. Whisk or beat until well combined.
  4. Stir in the mashed banana.
  5. In a smaller mixing bowl, add the gluten-free flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Stir gently until just combined.
  6. Add the dry ingredients to your wet mixture, mixing until just combined and there are no dry lumps remaining. Some lumps from the banana are fine.
  7. Pour the banana bread batter into your prepared loaf tin. You can lay a thin slice of banana on top if desired.
  8. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the outside has deepened in color and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  9. After baking, allow the bread to cool on a wire rack. Once cool enough to handle, remove the bread from the loaf tin and continue cooling completely.

Notes

  • If you are egg-intolerant, look for an appropriate egg substitute for two large eggs.
  • Coconut sugar is used as the natural sweetener alternative.
  • Use your preferred gluten-free flour blend.
  • Laying a thin slice of banana on top before baking can improve presentation.
  • Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing for the best texture.
