Banana Bread (Gluten-Free)

I decided to try my hand at making some gluten-free banana bread.  It turned out wonderful.  We all liked it!  I did not put nuts in the bread, just because I didn’t have any.  The nuts would have made it even better!  Enjoy the recipe!

BANANA BREAD (GLUTEN-FREE)

1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar (organic if possible)
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
3 large ripe bananas, mashed
1 cup brown rice flour
1/3 cup garbanzo bean flour (or more brown rice flour)
1/3 cup cornstarch
1/3 cup tapioca flour
3/4 tsp. xanthan gum
2 tsp. baking powder
1 cup pecans or walnuts, chopped

In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar.  Beat in the eggs, vanilla, and bananas.

Add in the dry ingredients (except nuts) and mix well.

Stir in nuts.

Pour batter into a greased 5×9-inch loaf pan.  Bake at 325 degrees for about 1 hour and 20 minutes.
