To begin making Rhubarb Banana Bread I diced some rhubarb.

Next I softened some butter in the microwave on low heat.

Then I added some granulated sugar and the softened butter to a large mixing bowl.

After creaming together the butter and sugar, I stirred in 2 large eggs and some vanilla extract.

Then I stirred in some mashed banana.

Next I measured in Bob’s Red Mill 1 to 1 Gluten Free Baking Flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.

Once the ingredients were well combined I folded in the diced rhubarb.

I then greased 9″ x 5″ loaf pan.

Next  I scraped the batter into the prepared pan and spread it out evenly.

Then I put the loaf pan in the preheated 350F oven to bake or 50 – 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center came out clean.

After removing the loaf from the oven I allowed it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.

Then I turned the Rhubarb Banana Bread out onto a cooling rack to finish cooling.

This easy Rhubarb Banana Bread recipe comes together with pantry staples, making it perfect for busy bakers.

The loaf stays wonderfully moist for several days, making it ideal for meal prep or lunchboxes.

The sweet and tangy flavor makes this loaf stand out from traditional banana bread recipes.
