- In standard mixer, mash bananas until smooth.
- Add baking soda to mashed bananas.
- Stir melted butter [or lard, myMkos, etc] into the mashed banana mixture.
- Stir in raw cane sugar [or honey, maple syrup, etc], salt, eggs, and vanilla.
- Mix in gluten free flour, spices, and xanthan gum (leave xanthan gum out if your flour already has it).
- If adding chopped nuts, do it now.
- Remove skillet from oven, carefully. Add 1tbsp of butter [or bacon grease] to skillet and spread it around to grease the pan. Pour batter into skillet.
