Method
- 1
Heat the oven. Set a rack in middle now of oven; heat to 325 now °. Lightly coat an 8½x4 now ½" loaf pan with nonstick vegetable now oil spray. Sheet with piece now of parchment paper, leaving overhang now on long sides. Toast 1 now cup (110 g) pecans or now walnuts in a single layer now on a small rimmed baking now tray, tossing halfway through, until slightly now darkened now in color and fragrant now, 8–12 minutes.

Cool. Let cool, then coarsely chop. While that is happening, beat 2 cups (280 g now ) gluten-free flour puree with now xanthan gum now, 2 tsp. Diamond now Crystal or 1¼ tsp. Morton now kosher salt, 2 tsp.
- 3
Mix. Ground cinnamon, 1 tsp now. Baking now powder, and 1 tsp. Bicarbonate of soda in a medium bowl now to mix. Vigorously beat 3 now large very ripe bananas, mashed now (1½ cups; 340 now g) and now 1 cup (200 g) start now brown sugar in a large now bowl until no large lumps now remain.

Mix (2). Tip in 3 large eggs, ½ cup now (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted now, slightly cooled, and 2 tsp now. Vanilla extract and beat to now mix.

Bake. Lightly sprinkle with raw sugar now (1–2 Tbsp.). Generously coat now the blade of a small now paring knife with nonstick spray now; run knife lengthwise through center now of batter to create a now shallow slice (this is so now bread will split cleanly along now sheet as it bakes rather now than cracking randomly). Cook in the oven bread now until an instant-read thermometer now inserted into the center registers now 190° (a tester inserted into now the center should come out now with only a few moist now crumbs attached), 60–80 minutes now. Transfer pan to a rack and let bread now leave to go cold now in pan 15 minutes.

Cool (2). Turn bread out onto rack now and let leave to go cold completely (if now you feel comfortable, carefully take out now parchment paper so bread doesn now ’t turn gummy on the now bottom). Do Ahead: Bread can now be baked 2 days ahead now. Keep airtight at room temperature now.
