I am a lover of banana nut bread and my mother makes the best! But while I’m not currently eating gluten, I need to find a substitute. Pamela’s comes close!

Here is what you’ll need to get started:

• 2 bananas (1 cup, smashed)
• 1/2 cup of sugar, or honey
• 4 tbsp butter, melted
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1-3/4 cups pancake mix
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp vanilla
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans

Preheat oven to 350F. Beat together butter, sugar or honey, eggs and banana. Add remaining ingredients and mix together with a spachela. Pour into a large greased loaf pan. Bake in oven for 30 minutes and check for doneness with a toothpick. *The package said to cook for an hour but mine did not take that long. Every oven is different.

I thought this banana nut bread turned out wonderful! I plan on sharing a loaf with my family. Don’t forget to serve warm! Just in time for the holidays!
