Ingredients
– 2-3 very ripe bananas mashed (about 1 cup) for natural sweetness and moisture
– 1 teaspoon baking soda to help the bread rise and achieve a soft texture
– 1/3 cup unsalted butter melted adds healthy fats and keeps the bread tender
– 3/4 cup granulated sugar provides the perfect level of sweetness
– a pinch of salt enhances the overall flavor
– 2 large eggs beaten binds the ingredients together for structure
– 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract brings in a warm, aromatic touch
– 1 1/2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour with xanthan gum forms the base to keep it gluten free and give a great crumb
Instructions
1-Preheat: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 4 x 8-inch loaf pan with cooking spray to set the stage.
2-Mash Bananas: In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth, which brings out their natural sweetness and moisture.
3-Combine Ingredients: Next, add the baking soda and stir in the melted butter to blend everything well. Mix in the sugar, salt, beaten eggs, and vanilla extract for a flavorful base. Gradually add the gluten-free flour and xanthan gum if needed, stirring until just combined to avoid a tough texture.
4-Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake on the center rack for 50 minutes to 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the bread cool completely before slicing to keep it from crumbling.
