Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan with gluten-free flour or line with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, mash the overripe bananas with a fork until mostly smooth.
  3. Add the oil, beaten eggs, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract to the bananas. Whisk until well combined.
  4. Sift the gluten-free flour blend, baking soda, and salt into the wet ingredients. Gently fold with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Let the batter rest for 15-20 minutes to allow the flours to hydrate.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Tent with foil if the top browns too quickly.
  7. Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Do Not Overmix: Mix only until the flour is just combined for the most tender crumb.
Cool Completely: This is a critical step for gluten-free baked goods to prevent a gummy texture.
Flour Choice: Use a 1-to-1 blend that includes xanthan gum for best results.
