Instructions
Total Machine Time – approximately 1:40 hours. FYI - The machine will spend roughly 20 minutes mixing and 1:20 hours baking.
Unplug your bread machine and then remove the bread pan from the machine.
Add the mashed bananas, butter and eggs into the bread pan and then add the other ingredients. Try to follow the order of the ingredients listed above so that liquid ingredients are placed in the bread pan first and the dry ingredients second. FYI - Before adding the ingredients to the bread pan, please read the premixing comment below. Also you do not add the optional chopped nuts or chocolate chips at this time. They are added later.
Optional - Consider premixing the ingredients in a large mixing bowl (versus allowing the bread machine to mix them) and then pouring the mixed batter into the bread pan. This helps to prevent flour from sticking to the sides of the bread pan (and ruining the exterior of the banana bread). FYI - See the tips section for more information on premixing or "scraping" the sides of the bread pan with a soft spatula.
Put the bread pan back into the bread machine, close the bread machine lid and then plug in the bread machine.
Enter the bread machine settings (Cake/Quick Bread, Light Color) and press the start button. FYI - Before making this recipe, please READ the tips section below for more information regarding the cake/quick bread settingused to make banana breads. The setting may be called "quick bread", "cake/quick bread", "cake", etc. However, some manufacturers use the "quick bread" setting for rapid sandwich-type breads that use yeast (and not for quick breads such as banana bread that use baking powder/soda). Therefore, this setting can be very confusing... but the tips section below will help you to find the right setting to use on your machine. You need to enter the correct banana bread setting used by your SPECIFIC bread machine model or the banana bread could be under or overcooked.
Optional - If you want to add chopped walnuts or mini chocolate chips to enhance your gluten free banana bread, please add them after the first bread machine mixing cycle and before the second mixing (final mixing).
When the bread machine has finished baking the bread, unplug the bread machine, remove the bread pan and place it on a wooden cutting board. Use oven mitts when removing the bread pan because it will be very hot!
After removing the bread pan from the bread machine, you should let the banana bread stay within the warm bread pan on a wooden cutting board for 10 minutes (as this finishes the baking process) before you remove the banana bread from the bread pan. Wear oven mitts.
After the 10 minute "cooldown", you should remove the banana bread from the bread pan and place the banana bread on a wire cooling rack to finish cooling. Use oven mitts when removing the bread.
You should allow the banana bread to completely cool before cutting. This can take up to 2 hours. Otherwise, the banana bread will break (crumble) more easily when cut.
