A genuinely moist banana loaf with a craggy maple-walnut top and none of the dry crumble that gives gluten-free baking a bad name.

Craggy gluten-free banana bread loaf with an uneven split top and a thick slice removed — **TooGut pick**Flexible, practical, genuinely delicious.

Very ripe bananas do most of the work here. Almond meal brings richness, oat flour gives the crumb enough structure, and a short rest before baking lets both hydrate properly.

One step at a time

Let’s cook.

Tick each step as you go. Built-in timers keep the important moments close.

Prepare the tin

Heat the oven to 175°C. Line a 22 x 12 cm loaf tin, leaving enough paper to lift the loaf out.

Keep some banana texture

Whisk eggs, maple and oil into the bananas. Leave a few small banana lumps instead of blending everything smooth.

Fold and rest

Fold in almond meal, oat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, a pinch of salt and two-thirds of the walnuts. Rest the batter for 10 minutes.

Bake until deeply golden

Scrape into the tin, scatter over remaining walnuts and bake for 50 to 58 minutes. A skewer should emerge with moist crumbs, not wet batter.

Let the crumb set

Cool in the tin for 15 minutes, then lift onto a rack. Wait until barely warm before cutting a thick, imperfect slice.
