Ingredients

• 3 overripe bananas
• 2 large eggs
• 1/3 cup coconut oil
• 1/2 cup maple syrup
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 3/4 cups gluten-free flour blend
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 cup walnuts, chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Get Baking!
Fire up your oven to 350°F (175°C) - it's banana bread time! Prep your loaf pan by giving it a greasy hug or lining it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

2. Banana Smash
Channel your inner caveman and mash those overripe bananas in a bowl. Want rustic texture? Leave some lumps. Prefer smooth? Mash away - no judgment here!

3. Wet Team Mix
Bring the wet team together: eggs, coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla. Give them a good stir until they're one happy, gooey family.

4. Dry Team Unite
Time for the dry squad: gluten-free flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Gently mix them into the wet ingredients - just until they're friends, don't overmix the party!

5. Fun Mix-Ins
Now the best part - fold in your favorite extras! Chocolate chips for sweetness, nuts for crunch, or go wild with both. (We won't tell if you sneak extra chocolate.)

6. Bake to Perfection
Pop it in the oven for 50-55 minutes. It's done when a toothpick comes out clean - no gooey batter hitchhikers allowed!

7. The Hardest Part
Let it cool for 10 minutes before slicing. We know it smells amazing, but patience makes perfect slices (and saves burned tongues)!
