Make a moist, flavorful gluten-free banana bread using peanut butter for rich texture. This easy recipe uses a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend for simple baking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups gluten-free 1:1 baking flour blend (with xanthan gum)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy for dairy free)
  • 1 1/2 cups mashed ripe bananas (about 3 large)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, baking soda, and salt. Set this aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter, brown sugar, and peanut butter until smooth.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time until fully combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Mix in the mashed bananas and milk until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix on low speed or by hand until just incorporated. Stop mixing when you see no more dry streaks of flour.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  8. Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with moist crumbs attached.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes before carefully transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free version, use non-dairy milk and ensure your peanut butter does not contain added dairy ingredients.
  • If your gluten-free flour blend does not contain xanthan gum, add 1 teaspoon to the dry ingredients.
  • This bread freezes well once completely cooled. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and foil.
