Aunt Dot’s Banana Bread Recipe

I’m sure you have some wonderful favorite recipes you circle back around to. My Aunt Dot’s banana bread recipe is one of those for me. A classic family recipe from that red and white checked cookbook my mama gave me when I was a new bride. Her aunt Dot’s recipe. Lately we’ve been enjoying this favorite as a gluten free banana bread recipe!

Gluten free banana bread recipe. It wasn't flat. It wasn't tasteless. It was just like Aunt Dot's banana bread recipe. And believe me. We have been through many a gluten free taste test!

I was skeptical about using the {aff} Gluten Free Bisquick as an equal replacement for regular flour. But it worked beautifully and got the full Hodgepodge approval. I have since used Kroger’s Simple Truth Gluten Free baking mix as well.

It wasn’t flat. It wasn’t tasteless. It was just like Aunt Dot’s banana bread recipe. And believe me. We have been through many a gluten free taste test!
