Ingredients
Method
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with coconut oil or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. Add the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk together until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, matcha powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly distributed.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and gently fold together using a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix as this can make the bread dense.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
- Slice and serve the matcha banana bread at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

Notes
Use very ripe bananas with brown spots for the best natural sweetness and moisture. Make sure your gluten-free flour blend contains xanthan gum for proper binding. If the top of the bread is browning too quickly, tent it with aluminum foil during the last 15 minutes of baking.
