Servings: 12 slices
Ingredients
Cinnamon Swirl Crumble

Banana Nut Bread
- ½ c. butter softened
- 2/3 c. granulated white sugar

- 3 very ripe medium bananas broken into pieces
- 1 1/3 c. white rice flour

- ¾ t. cinnamon
- ¼ c. buttermilk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- For the Cinnamon Swirl Crumble: Combine all ingredients in a bowl and toss to combine. Set aside.
- For the Banana Nut Bread: Begin by creaming butter and sugars in a stand mixer, or with a handheld electric mixer, for 2-3 minutes, or until mixture becomes light and fluffy.
- Add in eggs, one at a time until well incorporated. Add in bananas, one at a time, until well mixed.
- In a separate bowl combine flour, starch, xanthan gum, baking powder salt, and cinnamon. Alternatively add in dry ingredients and buttermilk to the butter/sugar mixture, starting and ending with dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- In a 9x5 inch PAM-sprayed loaf pan, pour half of the banana nut bread batter into the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon swirl crumble on top of the batter. Pour remaining batter on top of the crumble. Take a knife and make circular swirls along the loaf. Sprinkle the remaining crumble on the top of the batter.
- Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Enjoy!
