Equipment
- Standing or handheld mixer
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups Bob's Red Mill 1-to-1 gluten-free flour blend (222 grams)
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp Kosher salt
- ½ cup sugar
- ½ cup Earth Balance vegan butter softened (if not worried about dairy, you can use real butter)
- 2 large eggs
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 3 ripe bananas mashed
- ½ cup chopped walnuts optional - see notes
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350º F and lightly grease a standard loaf pan.
- Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- Using your mixer, cream together the softened [vegan] butter and sugar, then add the eggs, vanilla, and mashed bananas and continue mixing until well combined. It's okay if there are small chunks of banana.
- Slowly add the flour mixture to wet mixture and continue to mix on medium speed until well combined.
- Fold in walnuts, chocolate chips or other goodies by hand (optional), then pour mixture into the prepared loaf pan.
- Bake for 50-55 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean. Allow bread to cool for 15 minutes before removing it from the pan to fully cool on a wire rack.
Notes
This bread keeps well and tastes great for several days (at least four days) after you bake it. Keep it wrapped in plastic wrap or a zip-top bag to preserve its freshness.
You can add walnuts, chocolate chips, dried fruit, or other add-ins as desired.
