King Arthur Banana Bread

So tasty, you almost forget it’s gluten & dairy free!

Ingredients:

½ Cup	Melted Butter
1 Cup	Brown Sugar
3	Large Eggs
2 Cups	Mashed Ripe Banana (about 4 1/2 medium bananas)
2 ¼ cups	King Arthur Gluten-Free All-Purpose Baking Mix (must be the baking flour)
¼ Tsp.	Baking Soda
1 Tsp.	Ground Cinnamon
¼ Tsp.	Ground Nutmeg (optional)
¾ cup	Chopped Walnuts (optional)

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9″ x 5″ loaf pan.
In a small bowl, stir together melted butter, brown sugar & eggs.
In a large bowl, mash the bananas.
Add baking flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and optional ingredients to the bananas.
Stir sugar, butter & egg mixture. Mix well.
Spoon the batter into the prepared pan.
Allow the batter to rest 10 minutes.
Bake the bread for 45 minutes, then gently lay a piece of aluminum foil across the top, to prevent over-browning.
Continue to bake until the top springs back and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few wet crumbs clinging to it, an additional 20 to 25 minutes.
Allow the bread to cool for 10 minutes in the pan. Run a table knife around the edges, turn it out of the pan, and cool completely on a rack.

Yield: 1 loaf, about 16 slices.
