YIELD: 1 LOAF BANANA BREAD
Gluten-Free Banana
Bread With Walnuts
Perfect banana
bread with chopped
walnuts!
PREP TIME
15 minutes
COOK TIME
1 hour
TOTAL TIME
1 hour 15 minutes
Ingredients
1/2 cup sugar
3/4 stick of unsalted butter (6 TBSP), at
room temperature
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups gluten-free flour, like Cup4Cup
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp cinnamon
3 large very ripe bananas, mashed
1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
Grease a loaf pan with coconut oil.
In a small bowl, mash the bananas with a fork
and set aside. In a medium bowl, cream the
butter and sugar with a pastry cutter or fork, until
combined. Add the eggs, flour, baking soda, and
cinnamon, and mix to combine. Finally, add the
mashed bananas, and stir, until everything
comes together.
Allow the batter to sit for 15-20 minutes at
room temperature. Don't go beyond that time
frame though. This helps prevent grittiness in
your final product!
Pour the mixture into the greased loaf pan.
Sprinkle the walnuts on top, and bake for 1 hour
on the middle rack of the oven. Allow the loaf to
cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring
to a wire rack to cool completely. Store covered
at room temperature for up to 3-4 days.
Notes
Gluten-Free Flour
For the best gluten-free baked goods, I use
Cup4Cup Flour or Bob's Red Mill 1:1 Baking
Flour (Blue bag). I've made this recipe with both
flours and had great success. King Arthur
Measure For Measure also would work well
here. Please be aware that if you use a different
gluten-free flour blend, your results could vary.
StorageBanana bread should be wrapped in foil
or kept covered at room temperature for up to 34 days. If it hardens over time (which it likely
will), just pop in the microwave for 5-10
seconds.
Dairy-FreeTo make this banana bread dairy-free,
use Bob's Red Mill 1:1 Baking Flour or King
Arthur Measure For Measure (Cup4Cup contains
milk powder), and vegan butter, like Earth
Balance butter sticks or Country Crock. I've
made it with both and it is still scrumptious.
Chocolate VersionTo add chocolate chips, use 1
cup chocolate chips in the batter and mix
together at the very end. For extra chocolate
flavor, sprinkle more on top.
