In my humble opinion it was probably Barnabas; while we can't be 100% certain, I think that the Pauline authorship must be rejected. Although the style is, in many places, Pauline - which may indicate that a person close to Paul wrote it - I find it incredible that Paul did not identify himself as the author, as he did in his other epistles. However, that is just my opinion.
