It was a snowy Sunday in the city, so it felt like the time was right for another try at a great gluten free banana loaf. I tried one last weekend, but this one turned out much better. I cut back on the rice flour, as I find it a bit grainy, and added more ground almonds which added awesome flavour. The loaf made it just in time for some Oscars red carpet viewing!
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
Lightly oil the bottom of a standard bread loaf pan.
Combine in a large bowl:
3 ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 cup puree)
1/3 cup coconut oil
1 cup light brown sugar
1 tbsp vanilla extract
Whisk together in a separate bowl:
¾ cup ground almonds (or almond flour)
1/3 cup rice flour
1/3 cup ground oats
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon potato starch
1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum
1 rounded teaspoon cinnamon
Add the dry ingredients into the banana mixture and stir until smooth.
Add in:
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 45 minutes to an hour, until the loaf is firm, a bit crusty, and a wooden pick inserted into the center emerges clean.
