👩‍🍳 How to Make Gluten-Free Banana Bread

  5. Pour into Pan & Bake
    Pour the batter into the loaf pan. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

  6. Cool & Slice
    Let the banana bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool fully before slicing.
