Gluten Free Banana Streusel Bread

Ingredients

  • 1 ⅓ cups Gluten Free King Arthur Multi-Purpose Flour other favorite brands I've used are Namaste and Bob's Red Mill 1-to-1, most affordable from Costco or Sam's Club
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • ½ tsp Xanthan Gum
  • 3 bananas mashed
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 egg lightly beaten
  • 1/3 cup butter melted (or 3 Tbsp oil + 3 Tbsp apple sauce)
  • 1 tsp Vanilla
  • ½ tsp Cinnamon
  • tsp Nutmeg

Streusel Topping:

  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon butter or coconut oil

Instructions

  • 1. Preheat oven to 375f.
  • 2. Lightly grease 12 muffin pan cups* (see my comment at the end about making a large loaf)
  • 3. In a large bowl, mix together first 5 (dry) ingredients.
  • 4. In another bowl, beat together the bananas and remaining 6 ingredients.
  • 5. Stir the banana mixture into the flour mixture until combined.
  • 6. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups.

Streusel Topping:

  • 7. In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, 2 tablespoons flour and cinnamon.
  • 8. Cut in 1 tablespoon butter until mixture resembles coarse cornmeal (you can use a fork or your fingers to lightly combine to create the crumbly mixture).
  • 9. Sprinkle topping over muffins.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of a muffin comes out clean.
  • *You could try making this recipe into a single large loaf, but I’m not sure what the bake time would be since I haven’t tried a large loaf version yet. If you want to try it, I would suggest monitoring it carefully after 30 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick, and covering the top loosely with a piece of foil if the loaf is getting too dark before the center is finished baking.
