Best Gluten /Dairy/ Egg Free Banana Bread

Submitted by Chef Q in Oregon

"This is a modification of my favorite regular banana bread from my "Home Baking" cookbook. I made it gluten free and Dairy free so my nephew could eat it and it turned out GREAT! My kids, who don't usually like my G.F. food actually told me this was the best banana bread they had ever eaten, even before they knew it was G.F. I used my own mixture of G.F. flour which I will put in a note at the end of the recipe or you can make up your own. Happy eating!"
