Just believe me when I tell you this is THE MOST DELICIOUS BANANA BREAD EVER. Gluten-Free Cinnamon Swirl Banana Bread, that is.
My family was in town last weekend for my nephew’s 2nd birthday that happened to fall on Easter this year. And wanna know a fun fact? : my 2nd birthday was also on Easter! Cool, huh? Anywho, my mom loves banana bread, and I had been wanting to get a gluten-free banana bread recipe up on the blog, so I figured what a perfect time to experiment while, my mother, let’s call her the banana bread expert, was in town.
Well…. it turned out absolutely FANTASTIC. I’m talking moist (sorry it’s the only appropriate word here) and seriously so freaking yummy, so that left me with one option and one option only. Make another loaf. And you better make it fast.
Moist Banana Bread swirled with cinnamon sugar.. I mean, what’s not to love? It’s most definitely my new go-to banana bread, and I can’t wait for you to try it! Let me know what you think, but I hope you love love love it!!
