Notes
Volume Measurements:
1 ¼ cup + 1 teaspoon brown rice flour
¾ cup + 1 tbs + 1 teaspoon tapioca starch
Please note that gluten-free recipes work best with weight measurements because they are more precise than volume measurements. Gluten-free baking requires more precision and can be less forgiving than baking with regular all-purpose wheat flour.
These volume measurements were made from spooning each of the flours into the measuring cups/spoons (so they are not packed) and leveling them off.
The volume measurements are approximate. Make slight adjustments to the recipe as needed, adding a bit more Greek yogurt or a bit more tapioca starch or brown rice flour to achieve the correct dough consistency.
Really ripe or over-ripe bananas are important for this recipe. If your bananas are only perfect for eating fresh, your banana bread will not be as strong or as sweet.
The texture of this bread is not as crumbly as other breads. It is very moist, but also a little squidgy.
Keep it in a container in the fridge for up to 1 week. It tastes great cold! You can also heat a slice for 10 seconds in the microwave to warm up.
Top with chocolate chips for an extra bit of sweetness!
