One of my favourite recipes…
To keep you busy until you’re able to visit me in the Teaching Kitchen,
try this gluten-free / dairy-free, Paleo, and/or AIP recipe that is part of my weekly repertoire.
GF / DF Banana Bread
A recipe that is so simple, it’s almost not a recipe. (PLUS, it gives you a use for those banana you bought and forgot about!)
Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas (read: browning / already black)
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 2 eggs
- juice of 1 lemon
- 1 cup tapioca flour
- 1/2 cup brown rice flour
- 2/3 cup buckwheat flour
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
** Double-check that the dough is cooked through by inserting a skewer (wooden or metal) into the thickest part of the loaf. If it comes out with no remnants of wet dough along it, you know that your loaf is cooked.

- Preheat the oven to 350*F.
- Combine all dry ingredients into a mixing bowl. Combine all wet ingredients in a mixing bowl.
- Pour dry mixture into wet mixture and stir until the dry mixture is no longer visible.
- Divide the batter between two cake moulds.
- Bake 20 minues at 350*F. Remove from the moulds immediately and let cool on a rack.
