Ingredients

  • Flour - You can use any all purpose or gluten free flours for this.
  • Bananas - that old and spotty bananas that have been sitting in your kitchen or fridge for a while make an excellent gluten free banana bread! If you have frozen a couple before then these will work equally well once thawed. I usually buy too many bananas that no one eats in the end, so I freeze them and use them later for baking. Works great!
  • Eggs - gives the bread structure, stability, and tender texture. You can even bake this bread with 1 egg but 2 is recommended.
  • Yogurt - gives the necessary moisture to the bread. Substitute with sour cream, creme fraiche, vegan yogurt. You can use these interchangeably in most baking recipes. Your next options would be kefir and buttermilk. 
  • White sugar - you can use brown sugar instead which will make the bread evenmore denser and more moist. Coconut sugar works here too but it is less sweet than others and will not be the best choice if you use not-so-ripe bananas.

📋 You can find the full ingredient list in the Recipe Card below the article.

Tips

  • Bananas - I recommend using the ripest bananas you can get. Dark and full of spots! Why? Simply because of the flavor they give, ''older'' bananas will result in the best, strong, sweet, and rich flavored banana bread. This being said, it is also okay to use more fresh bananas but then the overall flavor will be different and you may need to add a little extra of that maple syrup.
  • Bring those ingredients to room temperature - To make it faster, place the eggs in a bowl of warm water for 10 minutes before mixing the batter.
  • Mashing the bananas - bananas can be mashed not only with a fork but to save time, immersion blender and electric mixers work equally well and faster. Make sure to chop up the banana into chunks.
  • Measuring - be sure to measure all your ingredients using the correct tools for this including a digital kitchen scale (measuring the ingredients in grams will give more accurate results). This chart is a quick reference for volume, ounces, and grams equivalencies for common ingredients.

Serving Suggestions

  1. Homemade Pumpkin Caramel Sauce
  2. Nutella
  3. Plain or flavored Cream cheese with sugar, cinnamon, or vanilla
  4. Peanut, almond, apple or Cinnamon honey butter
  5. Homemade Berry Jam

Storing and Freezing Instructions

  • Storing - this bread will keep in the fridge for a week, but for better texture and flavor consume within 2-3 days. Or keep art room temperature for 2 days, covered.
  • Freezing - let the bread cool completely. Cut in individual slices, thicker the better. Rap each slice in parchment paper or cut out a slightly wider sheet to act as a separator between slices. Transfer to freezer-friendly zip lock bag or container. Freeze for up to 2-3 months. Reheat in a toaster or let come to room temperature to enjoy.

    The addition of butter isn’t included in instructions. Ended up adding at the end upon reviewing ingredient list again. :/
