Gluten Free Banana Bread

Gluten Free Banana Bread Recipe

We had two brown bananas on the kitchen counter and I was complaining what a waste it would be to throw them out. So my wife suggested we make banana bread. We decided to go with a traditional recipe and convert it to Gluten Free.

The original recipe we found was from AllRecipes.com and comes courtesy of a woman named Shelly. We also added some additional ingredients to it based on the comments from other bakers.



Ingredients:

• 2 cups GF flour (I recommend King Arthur Flour or Bob's Red Mill)
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt (skip the salt if using salted butter)
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 eggs, beaten
• We used 2 bananas, but you could probably use up to 4
• 2 tsp vanilla
• 1 tsp cinnamon (we used KAF's Vietnamese Cinnamon which has a rich, strong flavor
• 1/2 cup walnuts optional (chopped or whole)

Heat the oven to 350 degrees

-Whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt (if using) in 1 bowl
-Mix together butter & brown sugar
-Then add the eggs, vanilla, cinnamon and bananas (the recipe recommended mashing them first, but i just dropped them in pieces) and mix until blended
-Add the dry mixture to the wet and mix together until nicely blended but not too smooth

Pour into a greased 9x5 pan (I use Pam) and bake for 55-60 minutes. In our oven 55 was perfect, maybe even a touch too long.

This really made the house smell incredible and tasted delicious. Hope you enjoy!
