Its National (Gluten-free) Banana Bread day!

We’re busy in the test kitchen today, but in honour of National Banana Bread day, I figured I would repost one of our favourite gluten-free banana bread recipes

This is one of those classic comfort foods that seems oh-so-easy, but needs an appropriate balance of moist cakey goodness without too much fuss to hit that sweet spot in our mind’s eye!

I have a few versions of gluten-free banana bread, but it was really the opportunity to try out Montana Gluten-free’s Timtana flour a couple of years ago where the first slices I cut really reminded me classic banana bread!   This is amazing flour to work with!  Shipping here to Canada is still prohibitively expensive, so I save mine for recipes like this where the flour really shines.  If you have a chance to pick some up, I highly recommend it!
