Gluten-Free Banana Loaf (Printer-Friendly Version)

# What You'll Need:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 3 to 4 ripe bananas that are super soft and spotty, mashed up (makes about 1½ cups)
02 - ⅓ cup butter, unsalted and melted
03 - ¾ cup regular white sugar
04 - 1 large egg, whisked lightly
05 - 1 teaspoon of vanilla flavoring
06 - 1½ cups of gluten-free all-purpose baking flour
07 - ¾ teaspoon of baking soda
08 - ¾ teaspoon of baking powder
09 - ½ teaspoon of table salt

# Let's Cook:

01 - Set your oven at 350°F to preheat. Grab an 8x4-inch loaf pan and coat it well with nonstick spray.
02 - In a big mixing bowl, mix your mashed bananas, melted butter, sugar, egg, and the vanilla together.
03 - In a smaller bowl, stir your dry ingredients together: gluten-free flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
04 - Pour the dry stuff into the wet mix and stir until everything’s just mixed. The batter will stay bumpy because of the bananas.
05 - Transfer the mixture into your greased pan and bake for about 50 to 60 minutes, or until nothing sticks to a toothpick when you check.
06 - Let the bread cool for 15 minutes in the pan. Then take it out to cool fully on a rack before slicing it.

# Cook's Notes:

01 - The bananas should be super ripe and have brown spots for the sweetest taste.
02 - Leave some banana chunks in the batter to give your bread a nice texture.
03 - Be sure to check that all your ingredients are gluten-free certified.
