Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ cup (263 grams) gluten free flour blend
  • 1 ½ teaspoon guar or xanthan gum omit if in blend
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup unsalted butter room temperature
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • 2 eggs room temperature
  • ¼ cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1 ½ cup mashed ripe bananas about 3-4 med. bananas

Optional

  • ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts
  • 2 Tbs raw sugar to sprinkle on top

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Prepare a 9" x 5" loaf pan lightly coated with cooking spray and line with parchment paper.
  • In a small bowl, sift together the gluten free flour, guar gum (omit if in blend), baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon and set aside. In a stand mixer, beat the butter until smooth. Add the brown sugar until combined. Add one egg at a time, beating after each. Mix in the yogurt. Add the flour mixture and combine until it is just mixed. Add the mashed bananas and nuts (optional) and stir until combined.
  • Pour into prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle the top with raw sugar if desired. Bake for 50-55 minutes, checking around 40 minutes in to make sure it isn't over-browning (if it is, tent with aluminum foil), or until toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool slightly before removing from pan.
