Method

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 180°C. Grease a 10cm x 20cm (base measurement) loaf pan and line with baking paper. Combine the sugar and butter in a large bowl. Add the eggs, vanilla and rum, if using, and stir to combine.

  2. Step 2

    Sift flour, xanthan gum, baking soda and salt over the butter mixture. Fold until just combined. Fold in the banana, yoghurt and walnuts until just combined.

  3. Step 3

    Pour into the prepared pan and smooth the surface. Bake for 55 mins or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Set aside in pan for 10 mins before transferring to a wire rack to cool. Cut into slices and serve toasted with butter.

    Serve with... honey.

Recipe tip

COOK. STORE. SAVE.

Use it up: Xanthan gum acts as a stabiliser for gluten-free bakes and cooking. Add a little to pancake or cupcake batter to help thicken the mixture and prevent breakage.
