Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas
- 2 eggs
- 0.25 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup honey
- 1.5 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with coconut oil or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.
Add the eggs, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and honey to the mashed bananas. Mix until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
If using, fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let the bars cool in the pan on a wire rack for about 10 minutes.
Once slightly cooled, cut into bars and serve. Enjoy your gluten-free banana bars!
