Marbled Gluten Free Banana Bread
by: claire cary
This gluten free marbled banana bread is surprisingly easy to make and a fun twist from classic banana bread! It's moist, full of flavor and the best way to use up those overripe bananas on your counter.
Equipment
Ingredients
Wet
- 1 ½ cups pureed banana about 3-4 large bananas
- ⅓ cup unsalted butter melted
- 2 eggs
- ¾ cup white sugar
- ⅓ cup greek yogurt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Dry
- 2 cups gluten free all purpose baking flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Chocolate
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons greek yogurt
- ⅓ cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Line a standard loaf pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together all wet ingredients.
- Whisk in the dry ingredients, making sure to spoon and level the flour to measure.
- Once smooth and combined, scoop out two cups of batter and add to another mixing bowl.
- Whisk in the cocoa powder and extra greek yogurt. Mix until smooth, then fold in the chocolate chips.
- Using two roughly 2 tablespoon sized cookie scoops or two spoons, scoop the batter into the pan inn batches, alternating between the regular and chocolate batter.
- Once done, take a toothpick or knife and swirl on top of the batter. Just do a few swirls- we don't want to full combine the two batters.
- Top with extra chocolate chips if desired.
- Bake for 60-65 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. All ovens are different, so keep an eye on it!
- Let cool in the pan for about 20 minutes, then lift out from the parchment paper and let cool on a wire rack.
- The texture will hold up much better if you let the bread cool completely - about 2 hours. I know it's tempting to slice early, but try to hold off! It's worth the wait.
- Once cool, slice & enjoy!
Notes
I prefer the texture of banana bread with pureed banana, but you can simply mash the bananas if you prefer. Just try to eliminate as many chunks as possible. This helps prevent a gummy texture - key with a gluten free recipe!
