Gluten-Free Banana Bread

3 very ripe bananas (1 cup mashed)
¼ cup applesauce (see below)
¼ cup vegetable oil
½ cup cane sugar
2 tbsp maple syrup
1 tbsp light rum
1 cup sorghum flour
½ cup white rice flour
¼ cup corn flour
¼ cup almond meal
¾ tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp xanthan gum
½ tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp allspice
½ tsp salt
½ cup chopped walnuts

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F and oiling a loaf pan.

In a medium bowl or large measuring cup, mash the bananas and add enough applesauce to bring the mixture to 1¼ cup. Add the maple syrup, rum, oil, and sugar and mix until combined.

In a large bowl, sift or whisk together the flours and almond meal, baking soda, baking powder, xanthan gum, spices, and salt. Fold in the walnuts, then pour the batter into an oiled loaf pan and bake on the middle rack of the oven for 45-50 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and run a paring knife around the edges to loosen the loaf, then let cool in the pan.
