Tips & Variations
- Use overripe bananas for the sweetest flavor and extra moisture.
- Add chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the batter for added texture and taste.
- If you prefer, substitute the oil with melted butter or coconut oil.
- Make sure your gluten-free flour blend contains xanthan gum or add a teaspoon if it doesn’t, to help with texture.
Storage
Store the banana bread wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, keep it in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze slices for up to 3 months. Reheat slices in the microwave for 15-20 seconds for a warm treat.

FAQs
Can I use regular flour instead of gluten-free flour?
Yes, you can substitute regular all-purpose flour for gluten-free flour if gluten is not a concern. The texture may be slightly different, but it will still be delicious.
How do I know when the banana bread is done?
Insert a toothpick into the center of the bread. If it comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs, the bread is ready. If batter sticks to the toothpick, it needs more time to bake.
