– 4 eggs (egg whites and yolks separated – recommended)

– 2/3 cup(s) honey (or maple syrup)

– 80g unsalted butter, melted

– 4 tablespoons of oil

– 2 teaspoons vanilla essence

– 1/2 cup(s) of natural yogurt

– 8 pieces of silver bananas, peeled and mashed

PREPARATION:

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C.
2. In this recipe, it is not recommended to substitute ingredients (only where indicated), as changes may alter the final result, altering the consistency and moisture.
3. For 1 full recipe (02 servings), grease a baking pan (23×13 cm) with oil and line with baking paper. If necessary, grease the paper as well.
4. On a plate, mash the bananas with a fork until they form a puree.
5. Separate the egg whites, leave them in the food processor bowl or put them in the food processor cup. This step guarantees an even softer cake, but the cake can also be made with whole eggs.
6. Separate the dry ingredients in a bowl: sift together the oat flour, cornstarch or sweet cassava starch, almond flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, xanthan gum, and ground cinnamon.
7. Melt the butter in a non-metallic bowl in the microwave for a few seconds.

PREPARATION:

Gluten/wheat free Banana Bread: dough preparation:

1. In another bowl, mix the egg yolks (or whole eggs) with the honey or maple syrup, melted butter and oil. Mix until smooth.
2. Add the yogurt and vanilla essence, mixing until well combined.
3. Add the mashed bananas to the liquid mixture and mix until smooth.
4. Add the dry ingredients to the liquid ingredients, mixing gently until a smooth dough forms.
5. Beat the egg whites until stiff and set aside (optional, but recommended for a lighter result) and add them delicately to the mixture, mixing from the bottom up so as not to lose volume.

Gluten/wheat free banana bread – COOKING:

1. Place the dough into the prepared pan.
2. Sprinkle almond slices on top (optional).
3. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for approximately 30-40 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.
4. If the cake browns too quickly, cover with aluminum foil to prevent the almonds from toasting too much and continue baking. This procedure can be done, if necessary, after the cake has been in the oven for 20-25 minutes, so that it does not deflate.
5. Remove from the oven, turn off and leave to cool completely in the pan.

FINALIZATION AND ASSEMBLY:

1. Serve the gluten free american banana cake for breakfast or as a snack.
2. Keep the banana bread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
