May 17th, 2014 | Gluten Free Banana Bread with Preloved Toronto
Mmmm banana bread. A few weeks ago, I got together with Preloved to test out some of their home goods. (I spy some aprons, place mats, and a wicked quilt in the photos above!) I have to admit it… I’m actually kind of in love with their vintage styled aprons. If you follow me on instagram you probably noticed the #ApronOfTheDay series I’m posting… I promise its leading somewhere. Somewhere with free things. For you. So keep an eye out for that! Anyways, we spent the day baking banana bread, and I adapted this recipe into a gluten free friendly one! This is seriously the best banana bread I have ever had. Enjoy folks!
