• 3 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoons xanthan gum

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Spray or prep 1-2 loaf pans. (My family prefers thin bread, so I make this into 2 loaves).

4. In large bowl, mix butter & sugar together. Add eggs, bananas, vanilla, cinnamon & nutmeg.
5. In small bowl, mix dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, xanthan gum).

7. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, stir just until combined.
8. Fold in pecans, if using.
9. Pour batter into prepared pan(s).
10. Bake 35-45 minutes (less for 2 small loaves, more for one large loaf).
