Enjoy this simple, moist gluten-free banana bread recipe. It’s perfect for beginners and uses common ingredients, with options for dairy-free baking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/3 cup melted butter or coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend (with xanthan gum)
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped nuts or chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork.
  3. Stir in the melted butter or coconut oil and sugar.
  4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the wet ingredients and mix.
  6. Add the gluten-free flour blend and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. If using, fold in nuts or chocolate chips.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  9. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free version, ensure you use coconut oil instead of butter.
  • If your gluten-free flour blend does not contain xanthan gum, add 1/2 teaspoon.
  • This bread freezes well. Wrap cooled slices tightly in plastic wrap and then foil.
  • For a richer flavor, you can add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg.
  • This recipe is a great base for a quick snack or a simple dessert.
