I happen to love quick breads, desserts and pumpkin, to name a few.  I don&#8217;t like to toot my own horn, but, OH.MY.GOD.  This banana bread that I made today was amazing!  I used an old recipe that my Mom used to use, from the very, very old Betty Crocker cookbook and modified it a bit.  Obviously, I made it GF.  Then, I subbed buttermilk for the milk b\/c I had some that I had to use up and I love it in quick breads.  The result was the moistest, most flavorful banana bread I have had since going GF.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3295\/3072787418_7e565383d8.jpg?v=0\"><\/p>\n<p><strong>Banana Nut Bread ~ Gluten-Free<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>**Original recipe from Betty Crocker Cookbook, modified slightly by me<\/em><\/p>\n<p>2 1\/2 cups flour (I used Pamela&#8217;s Baking &amp; Pancake Mix; if you use a flour mix without xanthan gum or guar gum, make sure to add at least 2 tsps. to this recipe)<br \/>\n1 cup sugar<br \/>\n3 1\/2 tsps. Baking Powder<br \/>\n1 tsp. salt<br \/>\n3 TBSP. canola oil<br \/>\n3\/4 cup low-fat buttermilk<br \/>\n1 egg<br \/>\n1 cup finely chopped nuts (I used walnuts)<br \/>\n2-3 medium very ripe bananas (about 1 cup)<\/p>\n<p>Heat over to 350*.  Spray your bread pan (1 pan that is 9 x 5 x 3 inches or 2 that are 8.5 x 4.5 x 2.5) with PAM.  Measure all ingredients into large mixer bowl; beat on medium speed for 1\/2 minutes, scraping sides constantly.<\/p>\n<p>Pour into pan(s).

You could spread cream cheese or butter on your slice or for a nice dessert, mix up a glaze of powdered sugar &amp; milk and pour thinly over the top.<\/p>\n<div class=\"linkwithin_hook\" id=\"https:\/\/www.glutenfreeislife.com\/?p=562\"><\/div>\n<script><!-- \/\/LinkWithinCodeStart\nvar linkwithin_div_class=\"linkwithin_hook\";\nvar linkwithin_site_id = 135270;\n\/\/LinkWithinCodeEnd -->\n<\/script>\n<script src=\"http:\/\/www.linkwithin.com\/widget.js\"><\/script>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.linkwithin.com\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.linkwithin.com\/pixel.png\" alt=\"Related Posts with Thumbnails\" style=\"border: 0\" \/><\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I know that I say a lot of recipes I try are like heaven or amazing, but seriously, I am a foodaholic!
