Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups Certified Gluten-Free Oat Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • 3 medium Ripe Bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan. Using gluten-free flour or a gluten-free baking spray is recommended.

Dry Ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together the certified gluten-free oat flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.

Wet Ingredients

In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix well until combined.

Combining Wet and Dry Ingredients

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Baking the Banana Bread

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top starts to brown too quickly, cover it loosely with foil.

Cooling and Serving

Let the banana bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve. Enjoy!
