Ingredients
  

  • 2 bananas
  • 2 eggs
  • ⅓ cup coconut oil * see note
  • 1 cup almond milk
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups gluten free flour blend * see note
  • ½ cup almond flour * see note
  • ¼ cup flaxseed meal
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • ⅓ cup walnuts
  • 1 cup fresh cranberries
  • 1 cup sugar coconut or brown sugar is fine too

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350º F.
  • In a large bowl, add the dry ingredients and whisk to blend.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, add the wet ingredients and mix.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Add the fresh cranberries and walnuts.
  • Mix together and pour the batter into a greased bread loaf tin.
  • Bake for 40-45 minutes until done.

Notes

  1. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use other fruit like blueberries, raspberries, or even chocolate chips as pictured!
  2. I have tested this recipe with King Arthur Measure for Measure GF and Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 GF blend. That doesn't mean others will not work, I just have not tested other flours.
  3. If your gluten free flour blend doesn’t contain Xanthan Gum or Guar Gum, please add 1 teaspoon.
  4. I highly suggest using almond flour and not almond meal. Almond meal is more coarse and will make your donuts grainy.
  5. You can substitute the coconut oil for another light oil or butter.
  6. To test for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of the donut. If the toothpick comes out clean, it is done baking. If you see batter or crumbs, the donuts need to bake longer.
  7. This bread will keep up to 4 days in an air-tight container, or up to 4 months in the freezer.
If you don't have over-ripe bananas, here are some easy ways to ripen your bananas quickly:
  1. Place your bananas (with the peels on!) on a baking sheet and bake at 225 for 20 minutes. The low-temperature heat will also help to caramelize the bananas adding to their sweet flavor.
  2. If you aren’t in a hurry, you can put your bananas in a brown paper bag and let them sit on the counter. (Don’t forget to close the bag!)

SPECIAL NOTE

Please know that every gluten free flour blend has a different starch to grain ratio. If you use a blend I didn't test, you may need to adjust your moisture levels in your baked goods.
