Boilerpipe Text
We eat a lot of bananas in my home, but there are always a few that get a little too ripe for my kid’s liking. So what’s a mama to do? I make gluten-free banana bread! It was so easy to modify my favorite banana bread recipe to make it gluten-free. I love that I only need one bowl to make this super easy banana bread recipe! Banana bread has been a favorite of mine since childhood. I love the smell when it’s cooking in the oven. Once I went gluten-free, I knew I couldn’t go without this household favorite, so I developed this easy recipe for gluten-free banana bread. It’s not too different from a standard recipe, and it’s super easy, too– no mixer needed! Trust me, no one will even know it’s gluten-free. Ingredients Bananas: The star ingredient! They need to be overly ripe to add the strongest, sweetest banana flavor. Baking Soda: Helps the bread rise in the oven. Unsalted Butter: Makes this quick bread rich and tender. For a dairy-free option, use Smart Balance butter. Granulated Sugar: Sweetens the bread. Salt: Enhances the banana flavor. Eggs: Add moisture and richness to the bread and help bind it together. Pure Vanilla Extract: Enhances the sweetness of the bread. Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour with Xanthan Gum: I like Pillsbury gluten-free. You may experience different baking results depending on the gluten-free flour blend you choose. Tips and Suggestions Always bake with ingredients that are at room temperature.   Cold ingredients do not mix as well with room-temperature ingredients. The best way to measure gluten-free flour is the “spoon & level” method. Using a spoon, scoop the flour into the measuring cup.  After you’ve spooned the flour into the measuring cup, use the back of a knife to level off the top of the measuring cup. If your gluten-free flour blend does not include xanthan gum, add 1/4 teaspoon. Three mashed bananas are equal to 1 cup. You can also mix it up a little by adding mini chocolate chips, blueberries, nuts, or raisins. I love how easy this super moist gluten-free banana bread is to make! Can I Make It Vegan? Sure! Swap the butter for your favorite non-dairy butter or coconut oil and the eggs for chia or flax eggs. Can I Use Applesauce Instead Of Butter? You can make this gluten-free banana bread with applesauce, but keep in mind that it will be less rich tasting and likely denser as well. I recommend trying coconut oil instead of butter instead! Storage Instructions Store gluten-free banana bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Let thaw overnight in the refrigerator before enjoying. More Gluten-Free Banana Bread Recipes To Try!

(cleaning all the bowls, etc., took longer than making it 🙂 ) I baked in a cake pan, resulting in a large area that could be cut into “brownie size” pieces; the edges always taste better so a large cake pan makes more edges and the thinner “loaf” allows uniform cooking (big loafs of banana bread seem to always have a center, doughy, section, or overdone edges). I added raisins and chopped walnuts; delicious\! 0 Reply Jessica April 15, 2026 10:22 am This is the most awesome gluten-free banana bread recipe!!! It’s super moist and delicious. I live in a high-altitude city (over 6,200 ft), so I followed this recipe exactly, except I monitored the time. I ended up baking it for 40 minutes, and it came out perfectly. I also doubled the recipe for 2 loaves. The more bananas, the better. About 5 small bananas works well, but I also made it with 3 very large bananas, and it was still perfect. My kids and husband love it too\! 0 Reply Ojai Mimi April 12, 2026 4:18 pm Eureka! The search is over!! I’ve been looking for a reliable GF Banana Bread recipe that succeeds in my less-than reliable oven. This bread turned out beautifully and received rave reviews from guests. I ended up baking it a bit longer, but as mentioned, it was likely impacted my oven. 0 Reply Elyssa April 11, 2026 6:09 pm Really enjoyed this recipe, thank you\! 0 Reply Tillie April 10, 2026 12:58 pm Thinking turned out great!

We eat a lot of bananas in my home, but there are always a few that get a little too ripe for my kid’s liking. So what’s a mama to do? I make gluten-free banana bread! It was so easy to modify my favorite banana bread recipe to make it gluten-free. I love that I only need one bowl to make this super easy banana bread recipe\! ![close up of a slice of gluten-free banana bread.](https://www.mamaknowsglutenfree.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/gluten-free-banana-bread-recipe-2.jpg) Banana bread has been a favorite of mine since childhood. I love the smell when it’s cooking in the oven. Once I went gluten-free, I knew I couldn’t go without this household favorite, so I developed this easy recipe for gluten-free banana bread. It’s not too different from a standard recipe, and it’s super easy, too– no mixer needed! Trust me, no one will even know it’s gluten-free. ## Ingredients - **Bananas:** The star ingredient! They need to be overly ripe to add the strongest, sweetest banana flavor. - **Baking Soda:** Helps the bread rise in the oven. - **Unsalted Butter:** Makes this quick bread rich and tender. For a dairy-free option, use Smart Balance butter. - **Granulated Sugar:** Sweetens the bread. - **Salt:** Enhances the banana flavor. - **Eggs:** Add moisture and richness to the bread and help bind it together. - **Pure Vanilla Extract:** Enhances the sweetness of the bread. - **Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour with Xanthan Gum:** I like Pillsbury gluten-free. You may experience different baking results depending on the gluten-free flour blend you choose. ![ingredients for gluten free banana bread](https://www.mamaknowsglutenfree.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/ingredients-for-gluten-free-banana-bread.jpg) ## Tips and Suggestions - Always bake with ingredients that are at room temperature.Cold ingredients do not mix as well with room-temperature ingredients. - The best way to measure gluten-free flour is the “spoon & level” method. Using a spoon, scoop the flour into the measuring cup. After you’ve spooned the flour into the measuring cup, use the back of a knife to level off the top of the measuring cup. - If your gluten-free flour blend does not include xanthan gum, add 1/4 teaspoon. - Three mashed bananas are equal to 1 cup. - You can also mix it up a little by adding mini chocolate chips, blueberries, nuts, or raisins. I love how easy this super moist gluten-free banana bread is to make\! ## Can I Make It Vegan? Sure! Swap the butter for your favorite non-dairy butter or coconut oil and the eggs for chia or flax eggs. ![overhead view of a sliced loaf of gluten-free banana bread.](https://www.mamaknowsglutenfree.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/gluten-free-banana-bread-recipe-3.jpg) ## Can I Use Applesauce Instead Of Butter? You can make this gluten-free banana bread with applesauce, but keep in mind that it will be less rich tasting and likely denser as well. I recommend trying coconut oil instead of butter instead\! ## Storage Instructions Store gluten-free banana bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Let thaw overnight in the refrigerator before enjoying. ![a sliced loaf of gluten-free banana bread.](https://www.mamaknowsglutenfree.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/gluten-free-banana-bread-recipe.jpg) ## More Gluten-Free Banana Bread Recipes To Try\! - [Almond Flour Banana Bread](https://www.mamaknowsglutenfree.com/almond-flour-banana-bread/) - [Oat Flour Banana Bread](https://www.mamaknowsglutenfree.com/oat-flour-banana-bread/) - [Flourless Banana Bread](https://www.mamaknowsglutenfree.com/flourless-banana-bread/) - [Coconut Flour Banana Bread](https://www.mamaknowsglutenfree.com/coconut-flour-banana-bread/) - ▢ 2-3 very ripe bananas, mashed - ▢ 1 teaspoon baking soda - ▢ 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted - ▢ 3/4 cup granulated sugar - ▢ Pinch salt - ▢ 2 large eggs, beaten - ▢ 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract - ▢ 1 1/2 cups gluten-free all purpose flour with xanthan gum - ▢ 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum, leave out if your flour already has it in it - Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C).
