- 55mins
- Ingredients:
- 14
- Yields:
-
1 loaf
ingredients
- 2 bananas, slightly over-ripe
- 1 egg
- 3⁄4 cup dark brown sugar
- 1⁄4 cup canola oil
- 1⁄2 cup milk
- 1⁄2 teaspoon vanilla extract (I used my homemade gluten free vanilla, Homemade Vanilla)
- 1⁄2 cup potato starch
- 1⁄2 cup cornstarch
- 1⁄4 cup coconut flour
- 5 teaspoons baking powder
- 3⁄4 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 1⁄4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1⁄4 teaspoon sea salt
directions
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- Spray 9x4 loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- In large bowl, with a hand mixer, mash bananas. Add egg, brown sugar, oil, milk and vanilla. Mix well.
- In small bowl, sift together potato starch, cornstarch, coconut flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, baking soda, coriander and salt. (Sifting will better distribute the baking powder to avoid areas of bitterness.).
- Pour batter into prepared loaf pan, smoothing as much as possible, to ensure a uniform top.
- Bake for 40 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
- Cool on wire rack for 5-10 minutes before removing from pan.
- Slice and enjoy immediately. Wrap any leftovers tightly in plastic wrap to prevent drying out.

This bread was cooling on the wire rack when my son & his wife were here for breakfast last week, so there was no problem with anything drying out ~ What wasn't eaten then was halved between our 2 homes! None of us needed the bread to be gluten-free, but knowing that I can make it for company (AND that they liked it) was good enough for me! Just one more recipe for me to keep hold of for when I DO need to make something like this! I love coconut, so the subtle taste of that coming through was very nice! Thanks for sharing the recipe!

Hi! I am happily married with two children, 26 and 12. For nearly 10 years when this site was Recipezaar and then Food.com I hosted several different forums. I enjoyed making, creating, reviewing, and photographing recipes, but what I miss the most are the friendships I made here. I was Food Editor for the Mill Creek View Newspaper in Mill Creek, WA. for about 4 years during that time. Currently I am the office manager at a small mental health clinic. I'm not on this site much anymore, but I do continue to appreciate and respond to all reviews posted to my recipes.
