A reliable recipe for making soft, moist banana bread using a gluten-free flour blend, complete with chocolate chips.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large very ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups good quality 1-to-1 gluten free all-purpose flour blend (with xanthan gum)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease and flour (using gluten-free flour) a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until mostly smooth.
  3. Stir the melted butter and brown sugar into the mashed bananas until combined.
  4. Whisk in the egg and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth.
  5. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the gluten free flour blend, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing only until just combined. Do not overmix the batter.
  7. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  9. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean or with moist crumbs attached.
  10. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before carefully turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Using a 1-to-1 gluten free flour blend that already contains xanthan gum helps achieve the best structure in this quick bread.
  • For the moist gluten free baking result, ensure your bananas are very ripe (mostly black spots).
  • If the top browns too quickly during baking, loosely tent the loaf with aluminum foil for the last 15 minutes.
