(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\\!\n\n0\n\nReply\n\nJessica\n\nApril 15, 2026 10:22 am\n\nThis 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\\!\n\n0\n\nReply\n\nOjai Mimi\n\nApril 12, 2026 4:18 pm\n\nEureka! 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.\n\n0\n\nReply\n\nElyssa\n\nApril 11, 2026 6:09 pm\n\nReally enjoyed this recipe, thank you\\!\n\n0\n\nReply\n\nTillie\n\nApril 10, 2026 12:58 pm\n\nThinking turned out great! Recipe was easy to follow I just wish there’d be a way to get rid of all the annoying ads in internet recipes!\\!\n\n0\n\nReply\n\nKaren Donivan\n\nApril 10, 2026 9:56 am\n\nI really like this recipe. It is the only banana bread recipe I use. It’s moist and full of flavor. I let the dough rest before baking and it’s always tasteful.\n\n1\n\nReply\n\nTaylor\n\nApril 1, 2026 9:19 am\n\nThis came out so good!! Definitely use 3 bananas\n\n0\n\nReply\n\nAce Shevlo\n\nMarch 27, 2026 1:32 pm\n\nThe only one I use!

I did add some cinnamon to it, as I saw cinnamon was on the gluten-free banana muffin recipe.

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\\!\n\n![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)\n\nBanana 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.\n\n## Ingredients\n- **Bananas:** The star ingredient! They need to be overly ripe to add the strongest, sweetest banana flavor.\n- **Baking Soda:** Helps the bread rise in the oven.\n- **Unsalted Butter:** Makes this quick bread rich and tender. For a dairy-free option, use Smart Balance butter.\n- **Granulated Sugar:** Sweetens the bread.\n- **Salt:** Enhances the banana flavor.\n- **Eggs:** Add moisture and richness to the bread and help bind it together.\n- **Pure Vanilla Extract:** Enhances the sweetness of the bread.\n- **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.\n\n![ingredients for gluten free banana bread](https:\/\/www.mamaknowsglutenfree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/ingredients-for-gluten-free-banana-bread.jpg)\n\n## Tips and Suggestions\n- Always bake with ingredients that are at room temperature.Cold ingredients do not mix as well with room-temperature ingredients.\n- 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.\n- If your gluten-free flour blend does not include xanthan gum, add 1\/4 teaspoon.\n- Three mashed bananas are equal to 1 cup.\n- 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\\!\n## Can I Make It Vegan?\nSure! Swap the butter for your favorite non-dairy butter or coconut oil and the eggs for chia or flax eggs.\n\n![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)\n\n## Can I Use Applesauce Instead Of Butter?\nYou 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\\!\n\n## Storage Instructions\nStore 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.

(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.

Readable Markdown	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.
