Gluten Free Banana Bread Recipe

On a chilly weekend, when you’re craving something baked fresh from the oven, and you have some over-ripe bananas that are about to go bad, what should you make that’s easy, delicious and pretty healthy too? This recipe! It’s one of my favorites that I’ve tweaked over time to make sure it’s sweet enough, but not too sweet, using only pure maple syrup as it’s sweetener. Pure Canada maple syrup is my favorite sweetener to bake with and I even use it in my coffee!

You can make it in one pan, if you had to, and it is so good it’s guaranteed to be gobbled up in no time by kids and adults alike. But, if there happens to be any leftovers for the morning you can put thin slices into a toaster oven, toast them and spread a tablespoon of natural peanut butter onto the slices and enjoy as breakfast.
