Ingredients

  • 2 Cups all-purpose gluten free flour see notes
  • 3/4 teaspoon xanthan gum omit if your flour blend contains it
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/2 Cup granulated sugar
  • 1 Cup mashed banana
  • 1/2 Cup light brown sugar
  • 1/3 Cup avocado oil or canola oil
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 2/3 Cup milk dairy free or regular milk, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray a 9x9 inch square pan with non-stick spray and line with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the mashed banana, brown sugar, oil, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir to combine.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick or cake tester comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs attached. Cooking time will vary depending on your oven - mine took 29 minutes.
  • Cool the bread in the pan on a cooling rack. Cut into 16 pieces and serve slightly warm or room temperature.
  • To store, wrap tightly in foil or store slices in an air-tight container. It will stay fresh up to 3 days. This bread also freezes well. To freeze, slice into individual pieces and freeze in a freezer bag.

Notes

I use my Nightshade-FreeGluten Free Flour Blend in these banana bars. If your flour blend contains xanthan gum, omit the amount called for in the recipe.
