Lemon Poppyseed Banana Loaf (GF & DF)

I love banana bread and lemon anything... why not make both?!

Lemon Poppyseed Banana Loaf


2/3 C butter- softened (I use Earth Balance sticks)
1 C sugar
2 eggs
3 very ripe bananas- mashed
6 T FRESH lemon juice
2 C GF all-purpose flour blend (I use Sarah's)
1 t baking soda
1 t vanilla
1 t salt
2 T poppyseeds
zest from one whole lemon


Preheat oven to 375.  Grease a 9x5x3 loaf pan.  Cream the butter and the sugar together.  Add the banana and mix.  Beat in 1 egg at a time.  Add the lemon juice, flour, baking soda, vanilla, salt, seeds, and lemon zest.  Scrape the  batter into the pan.  Bake for 1 hour, or until a toothpick says it's done.  Cool before devouring!
