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
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- Grease a 1-pound loaf tin and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the eggs, nut milk, avocado oil, coconut sugar, and vanilla. Whisk or beat until well combined.
- Stir in the mashed banana.
- In a smaller mixing bowl, add the gluten-free flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Stir gently until just combined.
- 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.
- Pour the banana bread batter into your prepared loaf tin. You can lay a thin slice of banana on top if desired.
- Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the outside has deepened in color and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- 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.
