Banana Bread

I just made the best GF banana bread!

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
4 med, ripe bananas, peeled and mashed
1 teaspoon milk
2 cups Wendy Wark's flour mix (I'll share that in a bit)
1/2 teaspoon xanthum gum
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt

Oven - 350, 5x9 pan (butter it)
Cream butter, sugar, vanilla
Beat in eggs one at a time
mash bananas with a fork (w/ milk) and set aside
combine flour, xanthan gum, baking soda and salt in a bowl
blend dry ingredients w/ the banana mixture into the creamed mixture

Put batter into pan, bake for one hour until toothpick comes out clean. Cool on wire rack in pan for a few minutes and then turn out of pan to cool completely on wire rack...attempt to wait for it to cool before you cut it, but if it's half gone before it cools...well that's ok too (since that is what happened here). LOL

For the flour mix -
1 cup brown rice flour
1 1/4 cup white rice flour
1/4 cup potato startch flour
2/3 cup tapioca starch flour
3/4 cup sweet rice flour
1/3 cup cornstarch
2 teaspoons xanthan or guar gum

(I actually used 3 cups of brown rice flour and omitted the white rice and sweet rice flours)
