Banana bread is a beloved treat enjoyed by many, but for those with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease, traditional recipes can be problematic. Fortunately, gluten-free banana bread with walnuts and cinnamon offers a delicious alternative that everyone can enjoy.
Ingredients Needed
- 3 ripe bananas
- 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil or butter
Preparation Steps
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper. In a large bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Add the eggs, honey, and melted coconut oil, mixing well.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Fold in the chopped walnuts.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.
Tips for Perfect Banana Bread
- Use very ripe bananas for maximum sweetness and flavor.
- Feel free to add a handful of chocolate chips or dried fruits for extra flavor.
- Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
