Ingredients:

2 loaves (24 slices)

2 cups all-purpose baking flour (gluten-free)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup sugar

1 teaspoon baking soda

Gluten Free Bread Directions:

1. Mix the all-purpose gluten-free flour, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk the eggs, canola oil, vanilla extract, applesauce, sugar, and mashed bananas in a small bowl. Now, stir into the flour mixture into this egg mixture until it becomes moistened, not watery or gooey.
2. Coat two 8-in. x 4-in. loaf pans with cooking spray. Sprinkle chopped walnuts and pour the mixture on both the pans evenly.

4. Keep the pans aside for 10-15 minutes and then remove the bread loaves to wire racks.
