Love First Banana Bread Recipe

It’s gluten-free and dairy-free, and delicious as can be!

Love First recipes have two requirements: first, they have to make something delicious. The other first is that they must be created from a place of love, given to you by someone you love and who loves you, or co-created with someone(s) you love.

This banana bread recipe started as a gift from a friend that I love, who got it from her grandmother. I adjusted it for other people I love, such as making it gluten-free and learning that it’s important for eggs to be at room temperature when baking with gluten-free flour. Lastly, I added my own ingredients, Love being the not-so-secret one 😉💖

Equipment you’ll need:

• Hand mixer with whisk attachment (beaters work in a pinch)

• A big mixing bowl for making the batter, and a smaller one for smashing bananas

• Measuring cups & spoons, a spatula, and a zest peeler

Ingredients (in order of need):

• 3 Very ripe bananas 🍌 🍌 🍌

• 1 Cup sugar

• 1 1/4 Cup gluten free…
