Gluten-Free Healthy Banana Bread

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork or potato masher until smooth.

Add the honey (or maple syrup), egg, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Mix well until everything is combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking soda, and salt.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently just until combined. If you're using walnuts, fold them in at this stage.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Once baked, remove from the oven and allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
