Blizzard = two days snowed in at home = banana bread. Naturally. This is adapted from the recipe found in The Moosewood Cookbook by Mollie Katzen, one of my favorite vegetarian cookbooks. I made it milk-free and allergen-free. I also cut the recipe in half and added chocolate chips. This is dairy-free. If you are opposed to using grains at all, try it with coconut or almond flour. This is very yummy warm with coffee. Especially while watching a movie on a Wednesday morning, wrapped in a cozy blanket on the couch, watching the snow come down outside the window. Ingredients 3/4 cup melted butter 3/4 cup sugar (use whatever type you like) 2 eggs 1 tsp vanilla 2 cups GF flour, plus 1/2 tsp xantham gum if your blend doesn't include it (or wheat flour if you aren't GF) 1/2 tsp salt 1/4 tsp baking soda 1 1/2 tsp baking powder 1 tsp cinnamon 1 cup mashed banana soaked in 1/2 cup black coffee (do not even think about skipping this bit) 1. Combine melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla in a mixing bowl. Mix until light and fluffy. 2. Meanwhile, mash bananas in a separate dish and mix in black coffee. I used cold coffee that was leftover from the morning. Let it soak while you finish combining dry ingredients. 3. Combine all dry ingredients in a separate bowl. (Original recipe calls for sifting, though I skipped the sifting myself. This is a bad habit I have - skipping the sifting - which I blame my mom for. Thanks, mom. The bread still came out light and fluffy, so I think the woman may have a point.) 4. Combine dry and wet ingredients. Mix well. Add bananas and coffee, and combine. I folded in 1 cup of chocolate chips at this point. Pour into a well-greased loaf pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes. Check to make sure it's done in the middle. My loaf this morning required another 15 minutes. This was one of the better GF quick bread recipes I've tried. Enjoy!
