Do You Ever Have One of those Banana Bread Days?

I chose to add pecans to this loaf.  My favorite!

So, for those of you who don’t know….I love to bake.  Yeah.  Ever wonder why my blog is called GF Recipes and Writings?  First, because I love to bake (and cook, if I’m being totally honest!) and also because I love to write and have yet to run out of things to say!  Big mouth, anyone? 😉. And apparently, you all like what I have to say (or maybe you just like my recipes!!!) and you stick around.  Thank you for that!

I was at the food pantry.  No shame there.  Times are tough and we would be hard pressed to eat every day without it and the wonderful volunteers.  Shout out to all the marvelous food pantries who feed us!

Anyway, I digress.  The food pantry had many, many overripe bananas when we went and I got a craving for banana bread.  They were the perfect, speckled, ripeness for it!  Yum!

A while back I figured out my own recipe for this most delectable treat.  It makes two whole loaves which should last you for a while since you don’t have a banana bread eating monster like I do!!!  It lasts two days tops here!

You will need:

Preheat your oven to 350°F

2 bread pans sprayed with gf nonstick cooking spray

10 very ripe bananas, peeled

2 cups of millet or your favorite GF flour

2 cups tapioca starch

2 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. salt

4 eggs

1 1/2 cups natural sugar (turbinado, coconut, etc.)

2 tsp. vanilla (bourbon vanilla if you have it!)

Mix all of your ingredients together and pour into your prepared bread pans.

Add 3/4 cup of pecans if desired, or 1 1/2 cups for both loaves.

Bake for approximately 70 minutes, or until your toothpick comes out clean.  Enjoy alone or with butter.  I like mine with nuts and butter.  Perfect.
