Ripe, well-mashed bananas bring natural sweetness and deep moisture to this loaf, balanced with a touch of cinnamon and a splash of vanilla for warmth in every bite. Folding the batter gently keeps things tender rather than dense, and a handful of chopped walnuts adds a nice bit of crunch if you want it. The result is a deep-golden crust with a soft, springy crumb that holds together beautifully once fully cooled and sliced. It's the kind of easy, one-bowl bake that works for breakfast, an afternoon snack, or dessert with a smear of butter. This one is a solid pick for a gluten free kitchen, no special equipment or techniques required beyond a loaf pan and a wire rack.
