Banana Bread (Gluten Free)
- 120 g gluten-free flour, mix (or plain white flour if you don't care)
- 150 g ground almonds
- 150 g sugar
- 3 eggs
- 100 g margarine or 100 g butter
- 5 small bananas, preferably overripe and brown or 4 medium bananas
- 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- You will need three large bowls.
- Start warming the oven to 180'C.
- In a bowl, mash the bananas with a fork into a runny yellow paste without lumps.
- In another bowl, cream the margarine and sugar together (mix hard and fast until the mixture is smooth, light and fluffy).
- Mix in 1 whole egg and 2 egg yolks.
- In another bowl, whip the two egg whites until they form firm peaks.
- Add the bananas to the creamed mix.
- Add the flour, ground almonds, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda, and mix well until smooth.
- Fold in the egg whites very carefully to avoid stirring and losing the air trapped inside.
- (A metal spoon may be useful for this).
- Pour the mixture into a lined (or greased) cake tin.
- Don't worry about smoothing the top, it's not necessary.
- Bake at 180'C for 30 minutes, then reduce temperature to 150'C and bake for another 40 minutes, or until a knife comes out clean.
