Tips:
- Make sure your bananas are ripe, as they will add natural sweetness and moisture to the bread.
- You can use any type of gluten-free flour for this recipe, but a blend that includes rice flour, tapioca starch, and potato starch will work best.
- If you don't have flaxseed on hand, you can use the same amount of chia seeds or applesauce to make a vegan egg substitute.
- If you want to add some extra flavor, try stirring in some chopped nuts or chocolate chips into the batter before baking.
- To make the bread extra moist, you can add 1/2 cup of unsweetened applesauce to the batter.
- Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
