Gluten Free Banana Bread

Author: Melissa Jennings

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cup gluten free flour (I like King Arthur)
  • 1 ¼ tsp baking powder (be sure it is gluten free)
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¾ tsp salt
  • ⅓ cup butter flavored crisco
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 ½ tsp vanilla
  • 2 TBSP regular milk
  • 1 cup mashed banana (over-ripe is best)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  • Grease loaf pan with shortening and lightly flour
  • In a medium size mixing bowl, combine your dry ingredients
  • In a separate bowl mash your bananas, add shortening and sugar and beat with an electric mixer until fluffy.
  • Add milk, vanilla and eggs to the banana mixture and beat for 1-2 minutes until combined.
  • Add ½ the dry ingredients and mix to combine.
  • Repeat with the other ½ of the dry ingredients.
  • If desired add any additional options (pecans, walnuts, chocolate chips) and gently fold in.
  • Pour mixture into a lightly greased and floured pan.
  • Bake for 50-60 minutes until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Cool pan on a cooling rack for 5 minutes. Turn out of the pan and allow to completely cool.
  • Wrap up in plastic wrap and give (or savor it for yourself).
