Ingredients

2 cups The Gluten Thief All-Purpose Flour spooned & leveled
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 cup butter softened to room temperature
3/4 cup brown sugar packed
2 egg(s) at room temperature
1/3 cup sour cream at room temperature
4 bananas mashed
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Optional: 3/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Adjust oven rack to lower third position. Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and set aside.
Whisk flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a bowl. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat butter and brown sugar until creamy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well. Mix in yogurt, bananas, and vanilla.
Slowly mix dry ingredients into wet until just combined. Fold in nuts if using.
Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake for 60–65 minutes, covering loosely with aluminum foil halfway to prevent over-browning. Bread is done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 1 hour. Then remove bread from pan and cool completely before slicing.
Store at room temperature for 2 days or refrigerated up to 1 week.

Notes

Muffins keep well at room temperature for a few days or refrigerated for up to a week.
