The Dogmother Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 New recipe to me, sent by a friend... totally delicious; we couldn't wait for it to cool, so ate it hot with ice cream! Gluten free toffee banana loaf 115g/4oz butter/Stork 115g/4oz Muscovado sugar, light 115g/4oz golden syrup 1 heaped tsp cinnamon 3 ripe bananas, roughly mashed 2 eggs, beaten (I used 3 bantam eggs) 250g/9oz ground almonds Pre-heat oven to 150C/300F/Gas 2. grease and line a loaf tin Put the butter, sugar and syrup in a pan, bring to the boil then simmer the mixture for 3 minutes. It will have the appearance and thickness of fudge sauce Allow to cool for about 10 minutes, then stir in the cinnamon and banana. Beat in the eggs, one at a time and fold in the almonds. The mixture is very wet and lumpy. It will not look as if it could possibly set, but it will. ( at this stage, Rosie informed me that it looked like 'cold sick' ) Bake for about 1.5-2 hours, or until a skewer in the centre comes out clean. I have a fan oven and baked it for just 50 minutes and it was ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted December 14, 2013 Author Share Posted December 14, 2013 Well, the first loaf has gone..... purely in the interests of testing you understand. We couldn't decide whether it was nicer warm with either ice cream, custard or creme fraiche... or cold. Might have to make another one to help decide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couperwife Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Ive just made this Well, honestly, I made a hash if this, but it worked So, I only had dark sugar, not light, and I only had 100g if almonds, so I added 150g of sr flour, so it stops it being gluten free, but... It was lovely I will make it again Thank you Cathy X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluekarin Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Made some last night and just had a slice with a coffee. Oh. My. Word. It is delicious! Took a bit longer than 50 mins in my fan oven, about an hour 20 in all I think. Still am not sure if it is completely cooked in the middle as it is quite a damp mixture. Will pass the recipe onto my gluten intolerant friend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted December 23, 2013 Author Share Posted December 23, 2013 Did you eat it warm Karin? In my opinion it is best warm with custard or ice cream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluekarin Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 No, I made it last night and had a piece this evening. I think the next one I will warm for a short burst in the microwave and add some ice-cream - just to test it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
