@TempleGreen Very cool! How did you alter it for the gluten free recipe?
@ ChefTips I had help from a gluten free friend. The mix is a bit complicated… she used 1/2 cup sorghum flour, 2/3 cup Teff and 2/3 cup “Bette’s Featherlight Flour Blend” from Authentic Foods…
The Featherlight mix is:
1 part rice flour
1 part tapioca
1 part cornstarch
and 1 tsp potato flour per cup of mix…
And it was delicious
Thanks for the previous response to my last question, but I have just one more!
I find that most banana bread is too sweet, am I able to cut down the sugar to 1 cup instead of 1.5 cups of sugar ?

@johnbgroovy
Sure!
Question…I didn’t have sour cream so I used yogurt…I also added two Tbl. of premixed ginger bread pancake mix (ran out of flour) The batter was finger lickin good, Your thoughts? It’s in the oven now…crossing my fingers.
Just made some yesterday using muffin pans and they turned out awesome! Moist and yummy as you mentioned I had some remaining batter left to make a couple small loaves but unfortunately the loaves flattened out after taking it out of the oven, not sure why that might of happened but it’s still edible. Thanks for sharing this !

@L0lal0la23 Everyone’s oven might vary. Best trick is to stick a toothpick inside the cake and make sure there still aren’t wet areas. Cheers! Jason
