And the snacking continues...As someone who has been experimenting with baking that excludes a lot of allergens, It's hard for me to purchase a store-bought baked good and be impressed. I also happen to work in a bakery that has seemed to master gluten free cookies that taste even better than "ordinary" cookies.

I've always kept that in the back of my mind, and have been wanting to make a banana bread version of … [Read more...]
