Jill and Stella’s Gluten Free Banana Bread

When my daughter Stella was diagnosed with celiac disease, we discovered that we love to bake together. Naturally, we bake a lot of cookies, but one of our favorite family traditions is baking gluten-free banana bread. It’s super easy and totally delicious for breakfast, an after school snack or to give away as a gift. Maybe it will become a family tradition in your house, too!

Ingredients:

• 3 over-ripe bananas
• ¾ cup of your favorite sugar
• 1 egg
• 4 T. butter
• 1 ½ cups all-purpose gluten free flour
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• ½ tsp. cinnamon

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees and grease a 9″ x 5″ loaf pan.

2. Mash bananas (you should have 1 cup) and beat in sugar, egg and butter.

3. In another bowl, stir together gluten-free flour, salt, baking soda and cinnamon.

4. Add banana mixture to the dry ingredients.

5. Stir until mixed and pour into pan.

6. Bake for 55 to 60 minutes.
