Provided by Rachel Gaewski

Categories     Breakfast

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

1 tablespoon flax seed
3 tablespoons cold water
1 ripe banana
1 ½ cups non dairy milk, unsweetened
3 tablespoons maple syrup
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons refined coconut oil, melted
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
¾ cup all-purpose flour
¾ cup buckwheat flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon kosher salt
nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
6 tablespoons butter, melted
3 tablespoons maple syrup
3 firm bananas, cut in half, then lengthwise
⅔ cup walnuts, chopped
¾ cup maple syrup
⅓ cup brown sugar
8 tablespoons butter, divided
¼ cup dark rum
½ teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 200°F (95°C).
  • Make the pancakes: In a small bowl, combine ground flax meal and cold water. Stir well. Set aside to gel for 10 minutes while you prepare the rest of the batter.
  • In a large bowl, use the back of a fork to mash the banana until smooth. Add the nondairy milk, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, coconut oil, vanilla, and flax egg and whisk to combine.
  • Sift in the all-purpose flour, buckwheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Using a spatula, stir well until there are no dry spots remaining.
  • Heat a griddle pan to 350°F (180°C). If using stovetop, place a frying pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the griddle or pan with nonstick spray.
  • Working in batches, use a ½ cup (120 ml) measure to scoop the batter onto the hot griddle. Cook the pancakes for 3-4 minutes, until bubbles form all over the surface and the bottom is golden brown and releases easily from the pan. Flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side, until golden brown and completely cooked through. Repeat with the remaining batter.
  • Place the cooked pancakes on a baking sheet and transfer to the oven to keep warm while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
  • Make the grilled bananas: Increase the griddle temperature to 375°F (190°C). If using stovetop, place a frying pan over medium-high heat.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together the melted butter and maple syrup.
  • Brush each banana segment all over with the melted butter mixture. Working in batches, grill the bananas for 2-3 minutes on one side, then flip and grill for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown grill marks appear and the banana is soft. Set aside until ready to serve.
  • Make the maple rum sauce: Add the walnuts to a small saucepan and turn the heat to medium-high. Toast the walnuts for about 1 minute, until fragrant and beginning to brown, then remove from the pan and set aside.
  • To the same saucepan, add maple syrup and brown sugar and cook until the brown sugar is melted and beginning to bubble, 3-4 minutes. Add the toasted walnuts and 6 tablespoons of butter to the pan and cook until the butter melts.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the rum. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until the alcohol cooks off. Remove the pot from the heat and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and the salt. Stir to melt the butter. Let the sauce cool for 10 minutes before serving.
  • To serve, top the warm pancakes with the grilled bananas and maple rum sauce.
  • Enjoy!

BANANA MAPLE PECAN BREAD MUFFINS (GLUTEN-FREE)



Banana Maple Pecan Bread Muffins (Gluten-Free) image

I bought a 20lb bag of bananas at Krogers for $1.00 and have been trying to use them all up. This is one of the recipes I made in the process. It was by far the most scrumptious recipe that I made. It could also be made into a bread, but I made muffins. This is definitely my new default banana bread recipe! Imade a double batch and ended up with 39 muffins. I made half with the called for maple syrup/pecan topping and half with a cream cheese topping. To make the cream cheese topping, I whipped 6oz cream cheese with 1/4 cup brown sugar and 1/4 cup maple syrup. These were absolutely heavenly fresh out of the oven. *For the gluten free flour, I used Bette Hagman's mix: 2 parts garfava bean flour, 1 part sorghum flour, 3 parts cornstarch, and 3 parts tapioca flour.

Categories     Quick Breads

Time 35m

Yield 18 muffins, 18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

3 ripe bananas, coarsely mashed
1/3 cup pure maple syrup
1/2 cup pecans, chopped
2 cups flour (*I used Bette Hagman's GF Bean mix, description above)
1 teaspoon xanthan gum
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
2 tablespoons dry buttermilk
2 eggs, beaten
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup water
3/4 cup chopped pecans
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
6 ounces cream cheese (optional)
1/4 cup brown sugar (optional)
1/4 cup pure maple syrup (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine bananas with 1/3 cup maple syrup and 1/2 cup pecans. Mix well and set aside.
  • Combine flour, xanthan gum, sugar, baking soda, salt, pumpkin pie spice, and dry buttermilk. Alternatively if you do not have premixed pumpkin pie mix, use equal parts cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg.
  • Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Combine eggs, oil, and water. Pour into the center of the dry ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon just until dry ingredients are incorporated.
  • Use a spatula or knife to make three or four "troughs" in the dough/batter. Spoon banana mixture into troughs. Gently fold bananas into dough with knife.
  • Spoon dough into muffin cups. Top with pecan-maple mixture. If using cream cheese frosting, coat tops of muffins after they are baked, not before.
  • Bake at 375 for 20 minutes. Makes about 18 good sized muffins.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your banana bread will be.
  • Use a combination of flours: Using a combination of all-purpose flour and whole wheat flour or oat flour will give your banana bread a more complex flavor and texture.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your banana bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the banana bread at a moderate temperature: Baking the banana bread at a moderate temperature will help to prevent it from drying out.
  • Let the banana bread cool completely before slicing: This will help to prevent the banana bread from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Maple banana bread is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a snack. With its moist texture, sweet banana flavor, and maple glaze, this bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you have some ripe bananas on hand, be sure to give this recipe a try.
