The best way to measure gluten-free flour is the “spoon & level” method. Using a spoon, scoop the flour into the measuring cup. After you’ve spooned the flour into the measuring cup, use the back of a knife to level off the top of the measuring cup.

I often use Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 Gluten Free Baking Flour because it can be replaced one-to-one, and usually, no one can tell. Now, those more sensitive types might be able to, and it depends on what you are using it for, but in general, your audience will thank you.

I have tried just about every gluten free flour on the market, and years ago, I made my own flour mixes. I am so happy that there are so many great options available at the grocery store these days.

I have had much success with Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 Gluten Free Baking Flour, King Arthur Gluten Free Measure for Measure Flour, and Pillsbury Best Gluten Free All Purpose Flour Blend. In most cases, these should work as an exact one-to-one replacement, but you do have to test them out with some recipes. I can assure you in this recipe: it works!

Baking times for gluten free recipes should be the same. I always suggest using a thermometer in your oven now and then to check and see if it's heating to the correct temperature.

I cook my baked goods in the center rack of the oven even if this means I cook cookies and muffins in two batches. We all know that cookies on the top and bottom racks just don't turn out the same.

Gluten Free Flour, Perfect Blend

Storing gluten free baked goods can be challenging because they do not stay as fresh as those baked with all-purpose wheat flour. I would suggest storing it for only a few days or keeping the bread in the refrigerator. You can always warm it up for 20 seconds in the microwave.

Some readers ask me about how the nutrition of gluten free flour stacks up to white flour. As I like to say, dessert is dessert, and in this case, it makes no difference. Gluten free does not equal healthy.

You can measure gluten free flour the same way you would regular flour. I like the spoon and level method, where you fill the measuring cup using a spoon, then take a butter knife and level it off. That way, you can be pretty sure you are being accurate.

This Gluten Free Banana Bread is easily made in one bowl by mashing some ripe bananas and mixing some wet and dry ingredients together. Make sure you mash those bananas really well. Oh, and the house smells AMAZING while it cooks.

I've doubled this recipe and made two big loaves, and I've also made super moist Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins out of this. Pop those babies in the freezer for an extra sweet treat next week.

Gluten Free Banana Bread

You can substitute the melted butter for melted coconut oil or vegetable or canola oil. To melt your coconut oil, just put in the microwave for ten-second increments and take it out when it is still slightly solid with some melting.

It can be a little tricky but inserting a toothpick into the middle and ensuring it comes out clean should work. If it's not done stick back in the oven for a few extra minutes and then check again. Allow the bread to cool before slicing it.

In the unusual case that you have any banana bread left, you can wrap it in foil or put it in an airtight container for a few days in the fridge. Warm it up before eating if desired. You can also wrap it in freezer wrap and place it in a Ziploc bag to store it in the freezer for up to three months.

So many options for leftover bananas. We like dicing ours into coins and freezing them for future smoothies. Or you could get fancy and make Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Popsicles or Banana Bliss Balls.

Ultimate Banana Bread

It’s the perfect treat to enjoy on a cold afternoon. Sit down with a cup of tea, and enjoy this melty, chocolatey, delicious gluten free banana bread.

This loaf has a great texture and flavor. I love to store over ripe bananas in the freezer and then use them to bake banana bread or banana cake.

I like to use Namaste Perfect Flour Blend – it works well every time, and produces a great loaf that holds its shape and slices really well. If you have a brand of gluten free flour that you prefer, you are welcome to try that! It may work just fine. If you try a grain free flour, like almond or coconut, the loaf will be denser, and it will probably not rise as high.

Matcha Banana Bread

Yes, if you wish to make this loaf egg free, you can make two flax seed egg replacers and add them to the batter instead of regular eggs.

You can also use this batter to make muffins if you prefer! Just keep an eye on them while baking. They will probably take about 21-24 minutes or so to bake.

Tip: Let this loaf cool before attempting to slice it. Gluten free baked goods can be more fragile than regular baked goods. If you try to slice into it when it’s too hot, you will have messy slices that crumble.
