The one thing that I can promise you is that I would NEVER post a recipe that is not as perfect as it can be. This gluten free banana bread is absolutely perfect! I dare anyone guess that this is gluten free. I drizzled it with chocolate because I love the combination of chocolate and banana but you really don't need it. The picture has extra chocolate because I made a mess drizzling it and attempted to fix it by adding more. It is delicious without the chocolate, especially with a cup of coffee...yummmm
I tried this recipe at least 3 times and in my previous attempts the loafs were too dense. This is delicious and moist the way a banana bread should be. I made 3 mini loafs but you could totally make these into muffins. This would make exactly 12 muffins since there is one cup of batter per loaf which would be 1/4 cup of batter per muffin. I like the mini loafs because you can freeze two of them until you are ready to eat them.
So because my first two tries were unsuccessful, I will tell you what I did differently. First, whisk the wet ingredients well but once you add the dry ingredients, do not over mix, don't even use a whisk, just use a rubber spatula to mix. Also, I originally used the refrigerated buttermilk but maybe I used too much. I went with the powdered buttermilk and it was perfect. Lastly, do not over bake! Cook for no more then 25 minutes.
