Eggless banana bread
Posted: Wed Dec 07, 2022 9:15 pm
Prompted by the price of eggs lately! I'll be using enough of those for cookies pretty soon. I put in a tsp of xanthan gum, plus bananas help replace the eggs some.
I had 3 smallish, very ripe bananas I had to use soon, and I got another one out of the freezer, since they are small. Smells fantastic baking, and tastes delicious - not super sweet, even with those very ripe bananas.
Eggless Banana Bread
Grease an 8½ x 4½ pan (or an 8 x 4, for a deeper loaf)
3.8 oz whole wheat flour
3.8 oz sorghum or oat flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp xanthan gum
3/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
Sift these dry ingredients together into a 3 or 4 qt bowl (I processed them together in the food processor, then dumped it in the bowl).
3 large, or 4 smaller extra ripe bananas
5.25 oz (3/4 c) light brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 c neutral oil
1/2 c chopped walnuts (option)
Process the bananas and sugar in FP, or mash together in a bowl. Add vanilla and oil, and process briefly, to mix well, then scrape into the bowl of flour, folding together well, adding the nuts last. Scrape into prepared pan, and level out. Let rest, while heating oven to 350° (or 300°, for convection).
Bake 45 min, or until toothpick comes out clean.
