Gluten Free Moist Banana Bread

Bananas are one of my favorite items to bake with (chocolate taking the top place, of course) and when I noticed some ripe bananas sitting on the counter one day I knew that I had to get to baking with them. I considered going ahead and making the banana chocolate chip cake that is one of the best things on the planet (it combines banana and chocolate chips, how could it not be?) but I knew that I should probably try a new recipe instead.

And now I have another great recipe to go to when I have ripe bananas to work with! This bread is super most, and packed with great banana flavor, making it the perfect bread for every banana lover.

Doesn't it look good enough to eat?
