Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups gluten-free flour blend I use Bob's Red Mill 1:1 Baking Flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 large very ripe bananas
  • 1 cup canned white kidney beans (cannellini beans) drained and rinsed
  • ⅓ cup sugar
  • ¼ cup canola oil
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • ½ cup blueberries

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and brush sides of an 8x4 inch loaf pan with oil or spray with non-stick spray.
  • Combine the flour, baking soda and salt in a large bowl and stir.
  • Add bananas, beans, sugar, oil, eggs and vanilla to a food processor or blender. Pulse a few times - chunks are ok!
  • Pour the banana mixture into the large bowl of dry ingredients. Stir until just combined.
  • Add the blueberries and stir once or twice through.
  • Pour this mixture into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for about 55 minutes. Sprinkle a few blueberries on the top if you want.
  • It's done when the top is springy to the touch and an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Cool on a rack for about 10 minutes and then take it out of the pan. Slice and enjoy warm.

Notes

Instead of blueberries, try adding chocolate chips.
Freeze a cooled then sliced loaf for up to 3 months.
Makes 1 loaf - approx. 8-10 slices.
