Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 cups overripe bananas mashed

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a bread pan with cooking spray or butter and dust lightly with gluten free flour.
  • In a medium bowl, use an electric mixer or stand mixer to cream together white sugar and butter. Then mix in brown sugar, vanilla, egg, and mashed bananas.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together all of the dry ingredients. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, mixing together until just combined. Pour into the loaf pan, and tent the pan with aluminum foil.
  • Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Remove the aluminum foil for the last 10 minutes to get a golden brown top. Let the banana bread cool before serving.

Cooking Tips 
  • If you don't have a dedicated bread pan you can use a meatloaf pan. You may need to reduce the cooking time if the pan is smaller. 
  • After greasing the bread pan, lightly dust it with gluten free flour. Turn the pan upside down and tap it a few times to remove any excess flour before adding your banana bread batter.
