Gluten Free Banana Bread
Description
The recipe calls for very ripe mashed bananas, which provide natural sweetness and moisture. Coconut sugar, extra-virgin olive oil, almond milk, eggs, and vanilla extract are mixed with the bananas to create the wet ingredients. The dry ingredients combine gluten-free all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg, which add flavor and leavening. Chopped walnuts are folded into the batter, and more walnuts along with rolled oats are sprinkled on top before baking.
The banana bread is baked in a 9x5-inch loaf pan at 350°F for about 42 to 48 minutes until a toothpick comes out mostly clean, yielding a moist, tender structure with a slightly crisp top from the nut and oat topping. The use of gluten-free flours makes this bread suitable for those with gluten intolerance.
This bread can be sliced and served plain or with spreads. The spice combination complements the sweetness of the bananas and richness of the walnuts, creating a balanced flavor profile.
