Gluten-Free Banana Bread

Yummy normal tasting banana bread! The white rice flour has a different texture, but it's not weird!

1 cup sugar
1 1/3 cup mashed banana
1/2 cup softened butter
2 eggs

1 2/3 cup white rice flour
1/3 cup cornstarch
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking pwdr
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp xanthan gum
* 3/4 cup chocolate chips or nuts, or whatever ya like

1. Preheat oven to 350F. Grease and rice flour a 9 by 5 inch loaf pan. in a small bowl, mix together sugar and mashed bananas. Allow to sit for 15 minutes.
2. In a separate small bowl, whisk together dry ingredients.
   
3. In a large bowl, cream butter until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well between additions. Add half of the dry ingredients. Blend until smooth on medium-low speed. Add banana-sugar mixture. Stir until well incorporated. Add remaining dry ingredients. Blend batter until smooth.
4. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan. Bake for 50-60 minutes, until tester inserted in center of cake comes out clean.
