Allergy-free Banana Bread


Traditional breakfast options are pretty limited when you can't eat dairy, eggs, or wheat. This morning, my daughter was wanting some banana bread, and thankfully my fruit bowl contained three very ripe bananas.

I followed an allergy-free banana bread recipe from 'The Complete Allergy-Free Comfort Foods Cookbook: Every Recipe Is Free of Gluten, Dairy, Soy, Nuts, and Eggs ' by Elizabeth Gordon.  I must take some time to plug this cookbook.  It's full of super-yummy allergy-free recipes for common comfort foods.  

This recipe makes quite a bit of dough which filled up a 9x5 bread pan:
  

After baking at 325 for 70 minutes, here is the final product - delicious!:
