Bob's Red Mill No Hassle Banana Bread

This is one of my favorites, it is simple, easy and even better than bread made with wheat! Some great additions to it are coconut, chocolate chips, sunflower seeds, flax seeds and/or any dried fruit. Visit Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free @: http://www.bobsredmill.com/gluten-free/
