Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Overripe bananas, mashed
- 1.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Walnuts, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.75 cup Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 large Egg
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Stir well to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly mixed.
In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar until combined and smooth.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat well until fully incorporated.
Stir in the mashed bananas and mix until the mixture is smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredient mix to the wet ingredients, folding gently with a spatula just until no pockets of flour remain.
Fold in the chopped walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve warm, or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
