Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour
  • 4 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Pumpkin Pie Spice

Wet Ingredients

  • 5 Bananas
  • 3/4 cup Coconut Sugar
  • 2/3 cup Coconut Oil
  • 2 teaspoons Pure Vanilla Extract

Other

  • Nonstick Cooking Spray (as needed)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius) to ensure it reaches the perfect baking temperature while you prepare your ingredients.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients. In a small bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice until evenly combined. Set this mixture aside.
  3. Mash Bananas. Place the 5 bananas into the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the wire whisk attachment. Whisk on medium-high speed until the bananas are fully mashed and smooth.
  4. Combine Wet Ingredients. Add the coconut sugar, coconut oil, and pure vanilla extract to the mashed bananas in the mixer. Continue mixing on medium-high speed for 1 to 2 minutes until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
  5. Add Dry Mix to Wet Mix. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the mixer bowl. Mix on medium-high speed for about 1 minute, ensuring all ingredients are thoroughly blended. Scrape the sides of the bowl as needed to mix evenly.
  6. Prepare Loaf Pan. Spray a 9-inch by 5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking. Pour the batter into the pan, filling it about two-thirds full to allow room for rising.
  7. Bake the Banana Bread. Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45 to 60 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a tester into the center; it should come out mostly clean but with some moist crumbs. If the top browns too quickly, tent with aluminum foil to avoid burning.
  8. Cool the Bread. When baked, remove the loaf from the oven and immediately turn it out onto a cooling rack to prevent it from becoming soggy from steam trapped in the pan.
  9. Serve. Allow the banana bread to cool completely before slicing. Enjoy the light, moist, and soft texture of this gluten-free treat!

Notes

  • The banana bread is best served at room temperature and can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Using ripe bananas with brown spots ensures maximum sweetness and moisture.
  • You can substitute coconut sugar with brown sugar if desired, but it may slightly alter the flavor and nutrition.
  • If you do not have a stand mixer, mashing the bananas and mixing by hand works well too.
  • To keep the bread moist longer, consider wrapping it tightly in plastic wrap once cooled.
