Title: Glenda's Banana Bread
Post by: ElleG on February 26, 2012, 11:56:04 pm: Hello, could some please move this if it is the wrong thread.

This is my friend's cake and it is very forgiving. You can change the flours, use either bananas, prunes, dates or other fruits, and change the sugars, and different oils. I always cut the sugar amount, just for health reasons. It is not crumbly, is delicious and is great with butter ;D This recipe has a coconut taste - if you dont like a cocnut flavour use oats instead of coconut and macadamia or grapeseed oil instead of coconut oil. I have made it a few times and it is a great basic recipe.

glendas banana bread
1 1/2 cups plain flour OR 1 cup (95gms) oats and 1/2 cup (95gms) dried chickpeas
1/2 cup sugar - i use 1/4 cup (50 gms) raw sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp bicarb
1/2 cup rolled oats OR combination of oats and coconut I used 1/2 cup of coconut (30gms)
3 medium ripe bananas (about 1 cup mashed) or 1 cup dates, prunes etc
1/4 cup yoghurt I used more due to the flours 160 gms
1/4 cup oil - used coconut oil 50 gms
2 eggs
mixed spice - i used 1 teas each of ginger and cinnamon

Grind 1 cup of oats (95gms) in the TM Bowl on 10 for 15 secs.
Add 1/2 cup chick peas (95gms) to the TM Bowl and grind on 9-10 for 15 secs then added prunes (or fruits) and whizz for 4 secs on 7.
Add remainder of ingredients to the TM Bowl, and mix speed 4 for 15 secs.
Bake 180 degrees for about 45 mins in a bar tin.

Post by: ElleG on February 27, 2012, 01:11:07 am: Great. I have made quite a few variations and all have been really good. It is good with Organ GF flour - but I am trying to eat healthier.
I hope you enjoy it :)

Hope you enjoy it Kimmy.

Post by: ElleG on March 03, 2014, 08:39:30 am: I made this recipe today to try cooking a cake in the little 1.5l slow cooker. I used half the recipe and cooked on low for 2 hrs 25 mins. It didnt need browning, colour looked ok. I sprayed the bowl with oil, was too impatient tipping it out and a little broke away from the bottom. Next time I will line with baking paper. But overall success ;D

Post by: droverjess on March 16, 2014, 08:27:45 am: Made this with 2 bananas and few Medjool dates.
Ground chickpeas and oats and as no coconut used ground almonds.

Only used 2/3 of 1/4 cup of rapadura sugar not sure what the fraction is!
It was enough.
Might try apple purée too and reduce sugar to even less.

Made 11 slices of cake and went in freezer.
