Ingredients

  • 2 C gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp xanthan gum
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1/2 C granulated sugar
  • 1/2 C brown sugar
  • 1 egg room temperature
  • 2/3 C milk room temperature
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 C 1 stick butter, softened
  • 1 C bananas mashed

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees and spray a 9x5in loaf pan with non-stick spray.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, or hand mixer, cream together butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar.
  • In a separate bowl, sift together flour, xanthan gum, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Stir to combine.
  • Add egg and vanilla to the butter/sugar and beat until combined.
  • Beat in mashed banana.
  • Add half of the flour mixture to mixture and mix until just combined.
  • Mix in 1/3 C of the milk until combined.
  • Add the remaining flour mixture, mixing until combined, followed by the remaining milk and mix until all ingredients are combined.
  • Transfer batter to the prepared loaf pan and bake at 350 degrees for 55 min to 1 hour or until tester comes out clean.

Notes

Oven temps often vary so check for doneness after 55 min. In my oven, this banana bread takes 1 hour to bake. You can substitute regular all-purpose flour for the gluten-free all-purpose flour and omit the xanthan gum to make this a regular banana bread. Please be sure to use gluten-free ingredients when following a gluten-free diet.
