I stumbled across my latest find at my local Super Target. Tucked in with the Betty Crocker GF mixes was a box for Simply Organic Banana Bread. I drooled over the moist bread picture, torturing myself with what I’ve had to give up for just a moment (I tend to do this.. but that’s for another post…) I was just tearing my eyes away when I noticed up in the little left had corner of the box there was an inconspicuous little “Gluten Free” label. What?! I can have this yummy looking bread?! Yeay! I immediately grabbed it, scanned for casein ingredients and found none. So I bought it and when I got home, true to form, I had a few overripe bananas. So I whipped up a great banana bread in no time at all! With only three ingredients (eggs, water and bananas), no rise time or anything else, it was super easy and fast.
And yummy. Oh, was it YUMmmmmmmy. Moist and banana-ey, no one even knew it was GFCF. It was so wonderful that it didn’t even last a full 24-hours. My son and husband (and myself) loved it so much we just kept going back for slice after slice. “Just a one more. Mommy… pulllleeeeesssseee?!” our 5-year-old son kept pleading. He loved it! I had it toasted with Earth Balance in the morning for breakfast. Oh, it was so good.
Great. Now I’m drooling again! I have to go back to Target and get another box (or 10)!
And the Simply Organic website has a bunch of other recipes you can make with this mix as well: Baked Bananas, Right-side Up Fruit Cake and more… I’ll definitely be making some of these in the future!! Now, where are my car keys… Target, here I come!
