. Banana Bread Oven at 350 deg / grease a 9x5 pan (the picture is not in a 9x5, so that is why it spilled over..now gotta clean the oven! You need: all purpose flour; baking powder; salt; baking soda; 1 stick butter; 3 eggs; salt;sugar (either brown and/or granulated);cinnamon;nutmeg;cloves (or ginger,allspice); chopped nuts; about 5 bananas total.. Combine: 2 1/3 c. all purpose flour / Gluten Free 3 tsp. baking powder 1/2 tsp. baking soda 1/2 tsp. salt In a large bowl, cream: 1 stick butter.. softened with 1 c. sugar... then add 3 eggs. Mix well. Mash 3 large bananas (ripe).. add to the butter mix. Add: 1 tsp. ground cinnamon 1/2 tsp. nutmeg (ground) 1/4 tsp. ground cloves (if you don't have all these, ginger and allspice can be used as a sub) Add: flour mixture.. little at a time. Mix well. Fold in 1/2cup chopped nuts (toasting them first, gives a really nice flavor) Pour mixture in 9 x 5 loaf pan. Now......... this is from Brandon [on the other side] --- make a mixture of brown sugar and/or granulated sugar and a lot of ground cinnamon. Slice more bananas and cover the entire top of the loaf. Sprinkle liberally with the cinnamon/sugar mix. Bake at 350 deg.... check at 45 min. When tester comes out clean, remove from oven (my loaf took almost a full hour). Cool in pan for 10 min., turn out on a rack to finish cooling (put wax paper beneath the rack) Enjoy! © All rights reserved

- makes two loaves in under an hour ----- Recipe ------ 2 T. yeast [2 envelopes Fleischmann's] 1 T. sugar 1 1/4 c. warm water (mix in glass container like Pyrex pitcher until it gets bubbly) 2 c. GF all-purpose flour 1 c. cornstarch (it calls for tapioca, but didn't have any) 1/4 c. dry milk powder 2 tsp. xanthan gum 1 1/2 tsp. salt (put flour mixture in large bowl and stir well) 1 T. room temp. butter 2 whole eggs & one yolk [ save the white for egg wash ] - or leave it out 1 tsp. apple cider vinegar (mix this together) Now, in the large bowl containing GF flour mixture, add yeast mixture. Next, add egg mixture. Beat all until combined ... it will start to get sticky-soft. On a greased cookie sheet (large), spoon bread dough into 2 loaves. If really sticky (mine was), put water on hands to form loaves. Brush with the egg white you saved -- all nice and beaten foamy! Cut slits across the bread. Put into a COLD oven. Set temp. to 425 deg. and bake for 30-35 min. IF it starts to brown too much, cover with aluminum foil. Remove to a rack to cool ... Says 10 min. ..... well, it smells too blasted good to let it sit there! Pull off a hunk .. add butter or dip in Olive oil w/herbs! Ah, pure heaven !!
