Ive been gluten-free for over 15 years.
When Im craving something, I dont want a version of it that tastes good for being gluten-free.
I want it to be as good as the real thing, and this banana bread delivers!

Its soft and moist and has a straightforward banana flavor thats enhanced only by a touch of vanilla.
But they dont have to be!
Banana bread is a perfect example.

Not to mention, one of the pitfalls of making gluten-filled baked goods is over-mixing the batter.
This develops the gluten and results in an unpleasant toughness.
With our gluten-free batter, this is a non-issue.

Whats the Best Gluten-Free Flour?
Years ago, youd have to pull together different combinations of grains and ingredients for gluten free baking.
These days, there are many brands that offer awesome all-purpose gluten-free blends.

My current favorite is King Arthur’s Measure for Measure Gluten Free Flour.
Banana Bread Swaps and Substitutions
If youre looking for a classic banana bread, this is it.
But, if you want to jazz it up, the skys the limit!

It is still perfectly edible after day 4, but it might start to dry out.
If you don’t think you’ll use it up in time, don’t worry.
Freezing banana bread is easy.

When mashing, I like to leave some lumps in, similar to chunky applesauce.
In a smaller bowl, add flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Add the flour mixture to the larger bowl with the wet ingredients and stir until fully combined.

(Note that it will be slightly lumpy because of the pieces of mashed banana.)
Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan, scraping the bowl to assist.
Bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour, or until a tester comes out clean.

Cool on a rack at least 15 minutes before removing the loaf from the pan.
Cool completely before slicing and serving.
