Gluten Free Banana Bread

 

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients:

• ▢1 cup gluten-free measure-for-measure flour
• ▢1/2 cup almond flour
• ▢1 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• ▢1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• ▢3/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Other:

• ▢1/3 cup shortening 
• ▢2/3 cup granulated sugar
• ▢2 large eggs
• ▢1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ▢2 tablespoons almond milk or regular milk
• ▢1 cup mashed ripe banana about 2-3 bananas (measure out bananas)
• ▢1/2 cup chopped chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 9×5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer, or using a hand mixer, beat the shortening and sugar until fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
• Add the eggs, vanilla and milk and mix for 1-2 minutes, scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl halfway through, until light and well-combined.
• Add ½ the dry ingredients and mix to combine. Add ½ the bananas and mix to combine. Repeat with the other ½ dry ingredients and bananas. (Adding them alternately helps the batter hydrate.) Scrape down the sides and bottom of the mixer and mix for another 15-20 seconds, until the batter is very smooth.
• Fold in the nuts or chocolate chips (if using) with a rubber spatula.
• Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 50-60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
• Remove from the oven and cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Remove the loaf from the pan and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
