Ingredients

  • 2 cups gluten-free flour blend (I used Bob's Red Mill 1-to-1 Gluten-Free Baking Flour (280g))
  • 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)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 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.
