Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Gluten-Free Banana Date Loaf.
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Lightly spray a 9x9-inch baking dish with cooking spray, avoiding the use of a loaf pan.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the white sugar and cinnamon-flavored applesauce, mixing until well combined.
Step 3
Incorporate the eggs, baking soda, and baking powder into the banana mixture, stirring until fully blended.
Step 4
Gradually add the gluten-free all-purpose baking flour, two tablespoons at a time, mixing until just combined.
Step 5
Fold in the chopped dates and walnuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Step 6
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 8
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
