My daughter in law, Wendy, made this moist and delicious gluten free banana bread to bring to a family gathering. Both gluten-free and guests and those who did not need to eat gluten-free were thrilled with the taste and texture of this simple homemade cake/bread that can be whipped together rather quickly.

This recipe calls for common ingredients. In fact, it calls for just a few ingredients that most people have on hand. In addition, no mixer is needed- just a large spoon and bowl. 

Got ripe bananas that will go bad? 

How often do you have ripe bananas that will go bad if you don't use them immediately? This recipe calls for 3 ripe bananas.

Breakfast Quick Bread

Since the ingredients are so healthy, you could feel good eating it for snacks or even breakfast if you leave out the chocolate chips. For breakfast I substitute raisins or dried cranberries.

Consider this recipe a keeper because this is one of those recipes that you will like to keep on hand to make over and over again.  Seriously, everyone who tastes it - loves it.. 

Kids love it too and you can feel good serving them this recipe made from oatmeal and bananas! 

Freezes well too

Also, it freezes well-So you can keep a loaf in the freezer for when company drops by!

This basic recipe is versatile- if you don't want to use bananas , this recipe will also make zucchini bread, sweet potato bread, pumpkin or even apple cake bread!
