Due to this change in my diet, I decided I needed to bake something.....
So, as I was pouring over Jessica's new cookbook, I decided to try the banana bread recipe from Baby Cakes. I thought it would be fun to test it against my favorite - Eleanor's Banana Bread by Gluten-Free Baking, I substituted flax meal mix for the eggs. I did add blueberries to both recipes - I just love banana and blueberry together!!!
The results, I haven't heard from Frank yet, he's been busy on the phone. My house smells wonderful! I think I overcooked the Baby Cakes version, the batter was splendid. I had to substitute for the Bob's Red Mill Flour mix( which has potato starch and I can't have potatoes right now), I only had Hodgson's - which is a more "whole grain" version of a gluten-free flour (millet, sorghum, brown rice flours). I do have to say, with testing the batters - I really liked the Baby Cakes batter best, it uses agave nectar as a sweetener. See below!
When I tried Eleanor's batter, I got an instant headache from the sugar. In the end, I really prefer the taste and texture of Eleanor's, but I like the fact that the Baby Cakes one doesn't have sugar in it. My goal - find a way to substitute the agave nectar for the sugar. I took pictures to post! See below!
