gluten free banana bread

I am a fairly ordinary cook. This is because my husband is great at it and enjoys it, so I get to sit on the couch with a glass of wine while he is in the kitchen cooking up a storm. I am left with a mountain of dishes at the end (mostly, because he likes to chop all his ingredients beforehand, putting them in every tiny glass bowl we have) but I don't mind because it means I don't have to do much in the way of cooking. Ever. This may backfire at some point....

Anyhoo. I am gluten intolerant and LOVE banana bread so I decided to venture into the kitchen for some baking after finding this awesome recipe online.

Some variations:

ditch the lemon and icing sugar topping, I make it without and it's great
I use 1 cup rice flour and 1 cup all purpose gluten free flour for some variety
I use brown sugar (it just calls for 'sugar' which is a little generic)
The recipe calls for one whole cup of butter, but I used half butter half vegetable oil
I add some cinnamon too.

It helps to buy some very ripe bananas and stick them in the freezer until you're ready to use them. But make sure you let them thaw out prior to using (yes, I was silly enough to try to mash frozen banana).

It was easy and fun to make and is DELICIOUS toasted with butter..... It actually tastes like real food which is nice for gluten intolerant people! Enjoy!
