Ingredients:

  • 2 cups gluten-free all purpose baking flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup turbinado sugar
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 6 ripe bananas, mashed

Directions:
1. Preheat an oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
2. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt. In a separate bowl, cream together butter and sugar. Stir in eggs, maple syrup and mashed bananas until well blended. Add the banana mixture to the flour mixture; mix until batter is just moist. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan.
3. Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of the loaf comes out clean. If using muffin or cupcake tins, bake for 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Cook's Note: To make this vegan, replace the eggs with 2 additional bananas and use vegan margarine instead of butter.
