    Four Ingredient Gluten Free Banana Bread Recipe

    Published: Apr 11, 2022 by burntapple · This post may contain affiliate links · Leave a Comment

    I’m going bananas today!! Our gluten free banana bread recipe is a-mazing! 

    Loads of banana, and a hint of cinnamon and sweet in every bite! No eggs, no milk, no oil, no butter and no cake mix is needed to make this moist delicious homemade banana bread loaf!  (GF, DF, nut free option, egg free, soy free, vegan, vegetarian, FODMAP)

    Mashing the Bananas

    I don’t like mashing bananas and have a unique way of mashing them. I just let the mixer do the work. If the bananas are ripe enough, the bananas get mashed enough. 

    Except for that one time…the banana bread loaf with the unmashed bananas. My sister in law loves relaying this story. I tried the mixer method back then and it didn’t work so good and left giant chunks of banana in the bottom of the loaf. I made an awesome impression with the in laws that day. To the point it took a long time and a lot more trial and error before they would let me cook for them again. 

    Mashing Bananas with a Mixer

    To make mashed bananas in the mixer: Place desired amount of bananas in the mixer and mix on medium speed for 1-2 minutes until mashed. If you have a KitchenAid, the flex edge beater works the best.

    I love this method because I can start mashing the bananas and assemble the rest of the ingredients for the bread.

    Mashing Bananas with a Food Processor

    Bananas done and mashed in thirty seconds. Just throw those bananas in the food processor and puree for about 20-30 seconds. Downside? Extra dish to wash. Upside? If you do not like even the slightest bit of banana chunks in your bread this is the best way to make sure that you are getting the smoothest tasting bread. I love this food processor and blender combo. Takes up way less space.

    Using a Potato Masher to Mash Bananas

    This works the best with super ripe bananas. And is a step up from using the OG fork mashing method. How many of you love to sit there and mash for minutes on end with a fork? In a bind, yes. Otherwise? No!
