Ingredients
Method
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, matcha powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined and no lumps remain.
- In a separate bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. Add the eggs, melted coconut oil, sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until thoroughly combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry 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. Tap the pan gently on the counter to remove any air bubbles.
- Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs. If the top browns too quickly, tent with aluminum foil during the last 15 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

Notes
Use very ripe bananas with brown spots for the best sweetness and moisture. Make sure your gluten-free flour blend contains xanthan gum for proper texture. The matcha powder can be adjusted to taste - start with less if you prefer a milder flavor. This bread freezes beautifully for up to 3 months when wrapped tightly.
