As Grandma, I needed to learn to cook "Gluten Free" for our Wednesday night Family dinners. Our fabulous grandkids love dessert. We have ice cream as our back up and we get Edy's because it doesn't contain any anti-freeze.
The fun part about this recipe, Gluten Free Banana Bread, was that I made my own almond meal. I am about to show you how! :)
Gluten Free Banana Bread (complete with a smile) |
Put about one half cup of almond into the coffee grinder and pulse about 10 times. You are looking for a grainy texture. If you do it too long it may become almond butter.
Next you will need eggs, banana, cinnamon, vanilla, quinoa flour and coconut oil.
Mix together, in a separate bowel, the almond meal and quinoa flour.
Add the dry ingredients to the egg/banana mixture. squeeze in a couple of tablespoons of organic honey.
Pour mixture into a greased loaf pan and bake in a 350 degree overn for 45 - 50 min.
Now you have your wonderful tasting and good for you, Gluten Free Banana Bread. Add a scoop of Edy's ice cream.
