Print Recipe

A moist, tender, and flavorful gluten-free banana bread made with simple pantry staples and a touch of Greek yogurt for perfect homemade delight.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium ripe bananas, mashed
  • 2 cups gluten-free flour blend (e.g., Bob’s Red Mill 1-to-1 Baking Flour)
  • ½ cup almond flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ½ cup plain full-fat Greek yogurt (or dairy-free coconut yogurt)
  • ¾ cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled (or coconut oil)
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until mostly smooth with a few small lumps.
  3. Add eggs, Greek yogurt, melted butter, brown sugar, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Beat together until combined but not overmixed.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together gluten-free flour blend, almond flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon if using.
  5. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Fold in chopped nuts if using.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 55-65 minutes, starting to check at 55 minutes by inserting a toothpick into the center. It should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense texture. Use very ripe bananas for best sweetness and moisture. Let the bread cool completely before slicing to prevent crumbling. Tent with foil if top browns too quickly. Letting batter sit 5 minutes before baking improves texture. Nuts can be toasted for extra flavor. Substitute dairy-free yogurt and coconut oil for dairy-free or vegan versions.
