Classic Gluten-Free Banana Bread

Preheat oven to 350F and prepare a loaf pan. In one bowl, mix the mashed bananas, olive oil, eggs, coconut syrup, and a splash of vanilla until well-combined (wet ingredients). In a separate bowl, mix the gluten-free flour, a pinch each of sea salt, baking powder, and cinnamon (dry ingredients). Add the dry mixture to the wet and fold until uniform. Stir through about 2/3 cup candied pecans. Transfer batter to the prepared loaf pan and bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool completely before slicing or icing. To make an optional glaze, mix 1 cup powdered sugar with 2 tbsp milk until a glaze forms, then pour over the top and let set in the fridge before slicing.
