Gluten-free Bananananda Bread
Imagine the flavors of banana,walnut, apple, maple, and dates all together in one bread---yum! The original version was made with spelt flour. Here's a version for the gluten-sensitive among us, made with the flours I had on hand.
Combine and mix dry ingredients:
470 ml2 c gluten-free flour (I used oat, millet, and Bob's All-Purpose flours)
2 ml1/2 tsp. xanthan gum*
120 ml1/2 c walnuts
20 ml4 tsp baking Powder
2 ml1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 ml1/4 tsp sea salt
1 ml1/4 tsp nutmeg
Combine wet ingredients and add to dry, mixing well:
240 ml1 c banana, mashed
120 ml1/2 c maple syrup
120 ml1/2 c apple sauce, sugar free
120 ml1/2 c date pieces
59 ml1/4 c safflower oil
2 ml1/2 tsp vanilla
Bake one hour at 350 degrees. Makes one loaf.
*I don't know if xanthan gum is actually necessary in a quick bread. I added it just in case. If you make this bread successfully without it, I hope you'll let me know.
