Notes
Please read all of the FAQ info above before making this recipe.
It's important to know that different gluten-free flour blends use different ingredients and ratios, so results will always vary if you substitute. I have never used any other brand of flour to make this recipe (other than Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free All Purpose Baking Flour (Amazon link) with the red label, NOT the blue label), so please know that your results may not be the same as mine if you substitute with another gluten-free flour blend.
This recipe will NOT work with coconut flour or any other single gluten-free flour, it must be a blend, the one listed above for the best results.
Any type of neutral flavoured oil can be used in place of coconut oil, such as safflower or sunflower.
Puree the bananas until there are no chunks left and is completely smooth.
