Equipment

  • loaf pan (9x5-inch)
  • mixing bowls
  • whisk
  • parchment paper

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour with xanthan gum
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas mashed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup olive oil or melted coconut oil
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup or honey
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup dairy-free milk such as almond or oat milk

Add-ins

  • 3/4 cup blueberries fresh or frozen (do not thaw)

Cinnamon Swirl

  • 2 tbsp coconut sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Optional Topping

  • oats or chopped nuts for topping

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper or lightly grease with oil.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together gluten-free flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  • In a large bowl, mash bananas. Add eggs, oil, maple syrup, vanilla, and milk. Whisk until fully combined.
  • Stir dry ingredients into wet until just combined. Do not overmix. Gently fold in blueberries.
  • Pour half of the batter into the loaf pan. Sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar mixture. Add remaining batter and swirl gently with a butter knife.
  • Bake for 50–60 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. If browning too quickly, tent with foil during the last 10 minutes.
  • Cool in pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Slice once fully cooled.

Notes

Use overripe bananas for best flavor. Toss blueberries in flour before folding into the batter to prevent sinking. Allow the bread to cool fully before slicing for best texture.
