Coffee Cake Banana Bread (Gluten Free)
I tried baking last night and it was terrible. I burned it. I will blame it on getting carried away with the Walking Dead finale on TV. Anyway, I decided to try again tonight. Tonight's attempt came out MUCH better. I adapted this recipe from one I found in my husbands family cook book, and added the filling based on one I found online.
You will need:
Batter:
*1 stick of butter, softened
*1/2 cup splenda
*1/2 cup sugar (you can skip the splenda and do 1 cup sugar if you wish)
*1/2 cup honey flavored greek yogurt (I'm sure plain or vanilla would suffice, this is what I had)
*2 eggs
*2 medium over-ripe bananas, mashed
*2 cups Bobs Red Mills all purpose gluten free baking flour mix
*3/4 teaspoon xanthan gum
*3 Tablespoons flaxseed meal
*2 teaspoons gluten free baking powder
Filling:
*1 Tablespoon butter, melted
*1/2 cup packed brown sugar
*1 Tablespoon cinnamon
Topping (optional):
*walnuts
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a loaf pan. In electric blender, mix butter, sugar, and yogurt until creamed together. Add eggs and bananas and mix well. In separate bowl, combine dry ingredients. Add dry ingredients to bowl and mix well. Mix filling ingredients together separately. Poor half of the batter into the loaf pan. Spread filling evenly over batter. Top with remaining batter. Add walnuts if desired. Bake for 40-45 minutes (until toothpick comes out clean).
I am not a baker, and frequently mess up my attempts, however I think this turned out good! Enjoy it, this may be the only baked good that makes the blog!
