Banana Bread

I must say that one of my favorite comfort foods has got to be quick breads...cranberry bread, zucchini bread, and the best--banana bread. Thankfully my trusty recipe with a few alterations has translated into gluten free beautifully. Next time I plan to replace some butter with applesauce and more flour with whole grain flours.

1 stick butter room temp
3/4 cup sugar(could even do less)
3 eggs
1 1/4cup Pamelas baking mix
1/4 cup quinoa flour
1/2 cup bean flour(I used pinto, but others would work)
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
3 ripe bananas mashed
1 tsp Vanilla
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp cardamom
chopped walnuts or chocolate chips optional

preheat oven to 350 degrees, grease bread pan
Cream butter and sugar till light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Mix all dry ingredients and then add butter mixture. Fold in bananas and vanilla. Pour mixture in pan and bake 55 minutes until tester comes out clean. Cool in pan for 10 minute then remove to a rack.
