Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups All-Purpose Gluten Free Flour (see notes)
  • 3/4 teaspoon Xanthan Gum (omit if your flour blend contains it)
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon Fine Sea Salt
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 cup Mashed Banana
  • 1/2 cup Light Brown Sugar
  • 1/3 cup Avocado Oil (or canola oil)
  • 2 large Egg room temperature
  • 2/3 cup Milk (dairy free or regular milk), room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and spray a 9x9 inch square pan with non-stick spray and line with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the mashed banana, brown sugar, oil, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir to combine.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake at 350°F for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick or cake tester comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs attached. Cooking time will vary depending on your oven - mine took 29 minutes.
  • Cool the bread in the pan on a cooling rack. Cut into 16 pieces and serve slightly warm or room temperature.
  • To store, wrap tightly in foil or store slices in an air-tight container. It will stay fresh up to 3 days. This bread also freezes well. To freeze, slice into individual pieces and freeze in a freezer bag.
