Recipe: Gluten Free Down Home Banana Bread

This is one of my family's favorite recipes. I adapted one I found on YumYum.com (author unknown) and made a few tweaks to the instructions. It is by far one of the best recipes I've found, and the top comes out nice and crispy thanks to the sugar, and the inside is moist and delicious. Keeps for a week in the fridge if it lasts that long!



Gluten Free Down Home Banana Bread



1/2 cup butter

1 cup sugar

2 eggs

4 medium bananas, ripe, mashed well

1 tsp lemon juice

1 1/2 cup Jules Nearly Normal Gluten Free Flour (or Pamela's Pancake & Baking Mix)

1 1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp vanilla

3/4 cup chocolate chips



Preheat oven to 350. Put all ingredients except chocolate chips into a large bowl and mix thoroughly with a hand mixer. It's ok if bananas are still slightly chunky. Add chocolate chips and mix by hand to incorporate. Pour into greased loaf pan or greased 9 x 13 pan. Bake for 60 minutes if using loaf pan, 50 minutes if using 9 x 13 pan. Top should be slightly crisp and golden brown. Allow to cool before serving.



**Jules Gluten Free flour can be bought online at http://www.julesglutenfree.com/ and she is always running specials! By far one of the best flours we've ever tried!**
