WHAT MAKES A GREAT GLUTEN FREE BANANA BREAD?

Moisture

A great banana bread should be moist with a tender crumb. 

Flavor

The flavor is crucial. Banana bread should have a rich, fresh banana taste, with added flavors such as vanilla, cinnamon, or nutmeg.

Sweetness

Balancing sweetness is key. Excellent banana bread should have the right sweetness, achieved through natural sugars in ripe bananas and additional sweeteners like pure maple syrup, honey, coconut, or brown sugar.

Versatility

You can add nuts, chocolate, fresh fruit, or other mix-ins to make the banana bread wholesome, add texture, and make it exceptionally delicious.

Overripe bananas

Overripe bananas are perfect for banana bread as they add natural sweetness. They are sweeter than firm bananas and have more moisture.

STORING

Place wrapped banana bread with plastic wrap in an airtight container. This helps seal out air and prevents the bread from drying out. While banana bread can be stored at room temperature, refrigeration will extend its shelf life and keep it fresh tasting.
