Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard loaf pan with vegetable oil or cooking spray.
  2. Mash the ripe bananas in a mixing bowl until smooth yet slightly chunky.
  3. Add sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas and stir until combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together gluten-free flour blend, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth out the top.
  7. Bake for 50-60 minutes until edges pull away from the pan and a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
