Banana Bread GFCF

On weekends, you really have to fill up time entertaining the kids.  So with the boys I try to do stuff to keep them occupied.  So baking is one thing that they can get into.  all the measuring, mixing and eating... plus, it makes you look like you do stuff to a wife, who most likely thinks you just watch TV.

I found this GFCF recipe for banana bread that is pretty good.  You can pick at it throughout the week.

This takes about 10 minutes to prepare and anywhere between 30-45 minutes to cook.

WASH YOUR HANDS 

The Ingredients (this is for GFCF...If you don;t care, just got with regular stuff)


4 Eggs
4 or 5 Ripe Bananas
1 cup Sugar
1/2 cup Apple Sauce
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
2 Cups Brown Rice Flour (or regular if you don't care about GFCF)
1 tsp Baking Soda
1/2 tsp Salt
1/3 cup melted Butter (I use Earth Balance fake butter)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350
2. In a mixing bowl, beat eggs lightly
3. Add mashed bananas (used your clean hands mash), sugar, apple sauce and Vanilla
4. Mix thoroughly.

 

5. Melt butter in a saucepan.  You will use this in the mix as well as to grease your loaf pans

6. Prepare flour, salt and baking soda in another bowl.  Mix them up.

7. Add flour to the wet mixture, and make sure mix so it's all wet

8. Use the melted butter to coat the loaf pans, then fold in the remaining butter into the mixture
9. Pour the batter evenly in both greased pans

10. Place both pans int he preheated oven and bake at 350 for any where between 30-45 minutes
11. At around 30 minutes, start checking to make sure if it's cooked.  Use a toothpick and poke the center.  if the toothpick comes out clean, its done, if not, keep checking every few minutes
12. When the center is clean, take them out and let them cool on the counter for 10-20 minutes

13.  After hey have cooled, be careful when removing from the pans.  flip them upside down and tap the bottom until they drop. 
14.  Use a bread knife and slice and serve.
