Gluten-Free Apple Cinnamon Banana Bread
A Gluten-Free Apple Cinnamon Banana Bread with Walnut & Cinnamon Topping! Perfect for Fall :)
Equipment
- Oven
- 8" or 9" Loaf Pan
Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (2% or whole-milk)
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup sugar (or honey)
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 medium mashed bananas
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 cup gluten-free flour (The gluten-free flour I bought is a 1:1 ratio to regular flour. Any substitutions for other gluten-free flours [coconut, oat, etc.] should be made based on their own ratio to regular flour.)
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon + extra for topping
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/2 cup peeled & diced apples (about 1 small/medium apple)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325 F. Coat an 8" loaf pan with butter or non-stick baking spray.
- Whisk together the wet ingredients (egg, Greek yogurt, vegetable oil).
- To the same bowl, add in brown sugar, sugar, mashed banana, and vanilla extract. Stir the mixture until combined.
- On a plate or small bowl, add the dry ingredients (gluten-free flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt) and mix together.
- Slowly pour the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring constantly until mixed together with no clumps. Add the diced apples to the mixture and stir everything together.
- Pour the mixture into your greased baking pan. On top, add walnuts and sprinkle with cinnamon (or cinnamon sugar). Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let cool for 20-30 minutes in the pan and then transfer the loaf to a cooling rack, to cool completely.
