Easy Banana Bread Loaf- GF

How many times have you had too many overly ripe bananas and had to do something with them quickly? Sometimes I slice and freeze them, and sometimes I make this delicious banana loaf.

It's an easy batter recipe that I simply mix with a fork. I've done more baking this past week than I've done in a long time.  Last week I made the easy bundt cake and the Jewish apple cake- both easy recipes and of course both gluten free.

I sprinkled some coconut crystals and cinnamon on top 

This loaf can be made with any gluten free flour ( or any regular flour if you are not gluten free) but my gluten free blend of choice is the Bob's Red Mill All Purpose Baking Flour that I purchase in the gluten free section of the supermarket. It works great for me!

This is a dense cake with a rich banana flavor. It contains no oils and is gluten free and egg free.

Aside from the applesauce and banana, it has no added sugar.

There was a thick layer of banana on the bottom; it was a mistake but delicious- I needed to mash the banana better and mix it in better. Great taste but not uniform..

The banana tended to concentrate on the bottom because I mashed it on the coarse side.

If you like something sweeter, you can add a sweetener or add some chocolate chips. Walnuts would also taste great in this cake!

Personally, I love it just the way it is.
How many points on WW?
 I figure about 2  points per slice- ( total 12 slices)
Let's see- bananas - zero   vanilla = zero  nonfat Greek yogurt = zero
 flour is 24 points for the entire loaf - unsweetened applesauce=zero
I figure 12 slices at 2 points each
