Gluten-free banana bread

I just checked and I have not posted this recipe even though I have made it a few times.  So, here it is:

Note:  This recipe was originally posted using whole wheat flour at: http://8weekstoabetteryourecipes.blogspot.com/2012/09/banana-bread-8-week-friendly.html

I modified it so it is now Gluten-free

Gluten-free Banana Bread (with honey)

Ingredients

• 2 cups gluten-free flour  (without xanthum gum in it)
• ¼ teaspoon xanthum gum
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup sugar free applesauce
• 3/4 cup honey
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 3 mashed overripe bananas

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan (** see note at bottom).
2. In a large bowl, combine flour, xanthum gum, baking soda and salt. In a separate bowl, mix together applesauce and honey. Stir in eggs and mashed bananas until well blended. Stir banana mixture into flour mixture; stir just to moisten. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan.
3. Bake in preheated oven for 60 to 65 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of the loaf comes out clean. Let bread cool in pan for 10 minutes and then turn out onto a wire rack.

** If I make three small (3 inches by 6 inches) pans I cook it for about 35 minutes.

Note:  This photo is from a loaf that has been in my refrigerator for a few days – still tastes great and does not fall apart easily.

I just added this recipe to a permanent page under Gluten Free Pages.
