Time 1h50m

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup coconut oil, warmed and melted, plus more for the baking pan
1 cup macadamia nuts
3/4 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 cup lightly-packed dark brown sugar
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
4 soft, very ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 1/2 cups)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly oil a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan.
  • Spread the macadamia nuts on one rimmed baking sheet and the coconut on another. Toast, tossing occasionally, until the macadamia nuts and coconut are golden, 5 to 7 minutes. Let the nuts cool, then roughly chop.
  • Whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, macadamia nuts and coconut in a large bowl. In another bowl, whisk together the coconut oil, brown sugar, eggs, yogurt and vanilla. Stir in the bananas. Fold the banana mixture into the dry mixture until just combined.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and lightly tap the pan on the counter to evenly distribute the batter. Bake until golden brown and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean, 65 minutes to 75 minutes. Let the bread cool for 15 minutes in the pan. Remove from the pan and let cool completely on a rack.

GLUTEN FREE TROPICAL BANANA BREAD



Gluten Free Tropical Banana Bread image

A moist and delicious banana bread for those unable to eat wheat gluten. It's a variation on GinnyP's recipe #57225, which was pretty good, but lacked any type of flour. The coconut flour I've added in this version adds a little more depth to the flavor, as well as consistency in the batter. As with all gluten free breads, it's best when fresh, but by tightly wrapping the bread as soon as it cools, it stayed moist for several days.

Time 55m

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 bananas, slightly over-ripe
1 egg
3/4 cup dark brown sugar
1/4 cup canola oil
1/2 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (I used my homemade gluten free vanilla, Homemade Vanilla)
1/2 cup potato starch
1/2 cup cornstarch
1/4 cup coconut flour
5 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon xanthan gum
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • Spray 9x4 loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray.
  • In large bowl, with a hand mixer, mash bananas. Add egg, brown sugar, oil, milk and vanilla. Mix well.
  • In small bowl, sift together potato starch, cornstarch, coconut flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, baking soda, coriander and salt. (Sifting will better distribute the baking powder to avoid areas of bitterness.).
  • Pour batter into prepared loaf pan, smoothing as much as possible, to ensure a uniform top.
  • Bake for 40 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
  • Cool on wire rack for 5-10 minutes before removing from pan.
  • Slice and enjoy immediately. Wrap any leftovers tightly in plastic wrap to prevent drying out.

Tips:

  • To ensure the desired texture, use ripe bananas. Overripe bananas will result in a denser loaf, while slightly unripe bananas will yield a cake-like consistency.
  • For optimal flavor and texture, use a combination of different flours. Gluten-free oat flour, almond flour, and tapioca flour work well together.
  • To achieve a moist and rich loaf, use coconut oil or unsalted butter instead of refined vegetable oil.
  • For a subtle tropical flavor, add freshly grated coconut or flaked coconut during the mixing process.
  • Enhance the overall taste by incorporating chopped walnuts, pecans, or macadamia nuts into the batter.
  • To create a delectable glaze, combine powdered sugar, coconut milk, and vanilla extract, then drizzle it over the cooled loaf before serving.

This collection of gluten-free tropical banana bread recipes offers delectable variations sure to please diverse palates.
