This banana bread is so good, and really quick and easy to make!  You can make it gluten free… or not!

Ingredients:

• 1 3/4 C. Gluten Free Flour Mix, or Regular Flour (I use Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free Baking Flour Mix)
• 1 t. Baking Soda
• 1 t. Xantham Gum (Only use this if you are using a gluten free flour mix!)
• 1/2 t. Salt
• 1/3 C. Olive Oil
• 1/2 C. Agave Nectar or Honey (I use Agave Nectar because it has a very low glycemic & carbohydrate index.  It raises blood sugar to much lower levels than sugar or honey.)
• 2 Eggs
• 1C. Mashed Bananas (About 3 very ripe bananas)
• 1/4 C. Hot Water
• 1/2 C. Chopped Pecans

1. Pre-heat oven to 325
2. Stir dry ingredients together
3. Whisk oil and Agave/ honey together in a bowl
4. Add eggs one at a time and whisk
5. Stir in mashed bananas
6. Add dry ingredients to the oil/ banana mixture alternately with hot water
7. Mix well
8. Fold in pecans (I run my pecans through the food precessor so that I can give my toddler the bread without worrying that she might choke on a nut!)
9. Pour into greased loaf pan
10. Bake for one hour (check for doneness with a toothpick/ knife)

This bread is so easy and delicious.  My entire family loves it!  We will eat it for breakfast with fruit, or for snacks.  It is not too sweet, which I like!  Put day-old slices in the toaster to bring back the freshly baked taste!
