Helpful tips for Gluten Free Strawberry Bread:
- Use 1:1 gluten free flour blend. This will contain xanthan gum already. If your gluten free flour doesn't contain it, you will need to purchase xanthan gum.
- Don't overmix the batter.
- Make sure the bananas are very ripe as this provide natural sweetness and texture.
- Be sure to have the strawberries dry all the way before putting them into the batter.
- If it starts to brown too fast, place a loose foil sheet over the top after about 35-40 minutes.
