With all these birthday parties happening in our home, I felt the need to make a GF dessert for my daughter since she is unable to eat the Birthday cakes I made for the celebratory occasions! So I took my grandmother's Banana bread recipe and made a few changes to make this delicious treat for my beautiful daughter. Turns out the WHOLE Family Loves them! This will make making banana bread and muffins a bit less tasking for me. I can keep it GF for everyone! :) We hope you enjoy this delicious treat/dessert! A nice variation to the Banana-Nut Cake I made for my Husband's Birthday yesterday
