- 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum - if your flour blend doesn't already contain it
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 very ripe bananas
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar - 150g
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil - 75g

- 2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1/2 tablespoon gluten-free flour blend
- 1 teaspoon turbinado sugar - optional for topping

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F. Grease a 9 x 5-inch bread pan with cooking spray or vegan butter.
- In a large bowl, whisk together gluten-free flour blend, xanthan gum (if using), salt, baking soda, and baking powder.
- In a separate bowl, mash the bananas.
- Then, mix the bananas with the granulated sugar, vegetable oil, apple cider vinegar, and pure vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Toss the blueberries with 1/2 tablespoon of gluten-free flour until they are coated.
- Carefully fold in the blueberries to the batter.
- Then, pour the bread batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle with turbinado sugar if you'd like.
- Bake at 375F 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
- I used Bob's Red Mill 1-to-1 Gluten-Free Baking Flour in this recipe which already contains xanthan gum. You will not need to add xanthan gum to this recipe if you are using this same flour.
- I cannot guarantee that all gluten-free flour blends will work out in this recipe, 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.
