Gluten-Free Banana Oat Bread - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter, room temperature
2/3 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
3 -4 bananas, brown and mashed
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 cup gluten-free oats
1 cup applesauce
1 cup pecans, chopped (optional)
2 cups gluten-free flour (I use Pamela's baking and pancake mix)
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons xanthan gum

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Spray or prep 1-2 loaf pans. (My family prefers thin bread, so I make this into 2 loaves).
In small bowl, combine oats & applesauce, set aside.
In large bowl, mix butter & sugar together. Add eggs, bananas, vanilla, cinnamon & nutmeg.
In small bowl, mix dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, xanthan gum).
Add oats & applesauce to wet ingredients, combine well.
Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, stir just until combined.
Fold in pecans, if using.
Pour batter into prepared pan(s).
Bake 35-45 minutes (less for 2 small loaves, more for one large loaf).
