Gluten Free Banana Nut Bread

• 1 1/2 cups blanched almond flour
• 3/4 cup cornstarch or arrowroot flour
• 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 cup chopped walnuts
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips dairy free, optional
• 1 cup bananas ripe, mashed, about 3 small/medium bananas
• 1/2 cup Earth Balance vegan butter, melted and cooled
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Place the chopped walnuts on a baking sheet and bake 5-8 minutes.
3. Melt your butter and set aside to cool.
4. In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cornstarch, xanthan gum, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
5. In a medium-sized bowl, mash the bananas. Measure it out to make sure it's 1 C. Stir in the eggs, butter, and vanilla.
6. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir until just combined.
7. Fold in the walnuts. You could also fold in 1/2 C of dairy free chocolate chips if desired.
8. Spray a 9 x 5 inch bread pan with cooking spray and dust with cornstarch.
9. Pour in the batter and bake 55-65 minutes. After 30 minutes (or whenever the top browns) cover with tin foil to prevent the top from burning. The bread is done baking when a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
10. Let cool completely on a cooling rack then cut slices with a serrated knife.
