Posted on the 27 July 2013 by Redneckprincess @RdNeckPrincess

This is one of those things I was dreading giving up…and then I found this recipe :) It didn’t rise as high as I am used to, but it tastes just as good if not better than bread made with regular flour.

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Baking Time: 75 minutes

Makes: 16 slices

What you need:

  • 1 cup (250 mL) ripe bananas (2-3 medium)
  • ½ cup (125 mL) unflavoured yogurt
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) GF baking soda
  • 1 egg
  • ¾ cup (175 mL) packed brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup (75 mL) oil
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups (375 mL) Robin Hood® Nutri Flour BlendTM Gluten Free
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) baking powder
  • ¼ tsp (1 mL) xanthum gum

What you do:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9” x 5” loaf pan.
  • Combine together your bananas, yogurt and baking soda in a small bowl. Set aside until further notice.

  • Whisk egg, brown sugar, oil and vanilla in a medium bowl.
  • Add flour, baking powder and xanthum gum.  Add set aside banana mixture to flour mixture. Stir together until flour is incorporated into batter.

  • Spoon batter into prepared pan. It will be very thick.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 70-75 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean. Cool on wire cooling rack.

Tips: 

  •  If top of cake starts to get too dark loosely place a piece of foil over the cake as it continues to bake.
