Banana Bread





Another Gluten and Dairy Free take on another wonderful comfort food!  Who could live without Banana Bread?!  Banana Bread was one of the most frequently made in our home growing up next to chocolate chip cookies and brownies.  I created this recipe keeping in mind the Betty Crocker recipe I loved as a child.


Banana Bread


1/3 cup Butter or Shortening
1/2 cup Brown Sugar
2 Eggs
1/2 cup Sorghum Flour
1/2 cup Tapioca Flour
1/2 cup Amaranth Flour
1/4 cup Rice Flour
1 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
1 tsp Baking Soda
1 tsp Gelatin 
3 tsp Guar Gum
1/2 tsp Salt
4 Medium Mashed Bananas
1/2 cup Chopped Pecans or Walnuts (optional)


Mix all wet ingredients (except bananas) well. Mix all dry ingredients in separate bowl then add them slowly to the wet ingredients. When mostly combined add bananas and mix thoroughly.  If you choose to add pecans or walnuts, stir them in now.


Bake 350 for about 40-50 minutes.  I use a skewer and make sure it comes out about clean.  Remove from oven rest pan on side for 10 minutes, then take out of pan and let cool fully before cutting.

  2. I am glad this site is helping you!! When we got started Gluten and Dairy Free, there was nothing to help us and it made it difficult. I started to post all my recipes specifically to help others out there!
