“A lot of gluten-free baked goods are dry and crumbly, but this one tastes like the real thing. I hope you try it!” Gladys Arnold - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Ingredients

• 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose baking flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 4 eggs
• 2 cups mashed ripe bananas (4-5 medium)

• 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1/3 cup canola oil

Preparation

Step 1

Pre-heat oven to 350

In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda and salt.
In a small bowl, whisk the eggs, bananas, sugar, applesauce, oil and vanilla.
Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened.

Transfer to two 8-in. x 4-in. loaf pans coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle with walnuts.

Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks.
