Bad-ass Gluten-free Banana Bread

 This is the best version I have come up with so far. Some of you may favor some other gluten-free all-purpose flour. I'm a fan of Gluten-free Bisquick because it's light enough to adapt to a lot of recipes, and just freakin' convenient. Here ya go, banana bread fans!

 You will need:
1/2 cup greek yogurt (I prefer Zoi)
1 cup brown sugar plus 1 tbsp
2 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla
4 very ripe bananas
2 cups gluten-free bisquick
1/2 cup walnuts plus about two tbsp
1 tablespoon quick-cooking oats


  Heat oven to 350 F. Generously grease sides and bottom of 9x5 pan with butter. Sprinkle the oats, 2 tbsp walnuts and 1 tbsp brown sugar across bottom of pan. Blend 1 cup brown sugar and greek yogurt in large bowl. Mix in eggs, one at a time. Mix in vanilla and bananas in chunks. Gradually add bisquick, blend briefly, just until mixed, add walnuts. Bake for 60 to 65 minutes. Cool for a few minutes. They say 10 but really, who can wait that long?
Banana bread heaven.
