Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9 x 5-inch bread pan with cooking spray or vegan butter.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups gluten-free flour blend, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon salt.
- In a separate bowl, mash the 4 very ripe bananas.
- Then, mix the bananas with the ¾ cup granulated sugar, ⅓ cup vegetable oil, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, and 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Toss the 1 cup blueberries with ½ tablespoon gluten-free flour blend until they are coated.
- Carefully fold in the blueberries to the batter.
- Then, pour the bread batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon turbinado sugar if you'd like.
- Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 60-70 minutes, until the bread is lightly browned and a toothpick inserted in the center of the bread comes out clean. If the bread is browning too much, cover the loaf pan with aluminum foil and continue baking.
- Cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling.
Notes
- Flour: I've only tested this recipe with Bob's Red Mill 1-to-1 Gluten-Free Baking Flour (in the blue bag), which already contains xanthan gum. I can't guarantee results with other blends, as each blend is so different.
- If you are vegan, use a vegan granulated sugar. Some granulated sugar is processed with bone char, and therefore not vegan.
