Equipment

  • Loaf pan
  • Mixing bowl
  • spatula
  • Whisk
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Parchment Paper

Ingredients
  

  • 3 ripe bananas Banana
  • 1 cup, fresh or frozen Strawberries
  • 1 and 3/4 cups Gluten-free flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/3 cup Coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup Maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons Flaxseed meal

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven and prep the loaf pan. - Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with coconut oil or line it with parchment paper.
  • Combine the dry ingredients. - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  • Mash the bananas and mix the wet ingredients. - In a separate bowl, mash the bananas until they're smooth and creamy. Add in the coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract, and whisk until well combined.
  • Combine the wet and dry ingredients. - Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the bread tough. Fold in the strawberries gently.
  • Pour the batter into the loaf pan. - Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth out the top with a spatula.
  • Bake the bread. - Bake the bread for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then remove it from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Serve and enjoy! - Slice the bread and serve it as is, or drizzle it with a strawberry glaze for an extra burst of flavor.
