Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a medium bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth and set aside.
In another bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, melt the unsalted butter and allow it to cool slightly. Add the brown sugar and beat until well combined.
Mix in the vanilla extract and egg until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Stir in the mashed bananas and milk until combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the bread dense.
If using, fold in the chopped walnuts until evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
Transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Slice and serve the banana bread warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
