I have said it before and I will say it again. Sometimes mishaps bring about the best results. Here is the honest truth. This was supposed to be banana bread. However, banana bread is difficult to make when you have a bunch of ingredients in a bowl already only to discover that you only have two of the six bananas you need in the freezer! So I had to figure out what I was going to add and applesauce became the solution. This turned into something that I will make often. The crumb is soft and delicate and this is just super satisfying in the morning with a cup of coffee! Well, really at any point of the day with any beverage! I hope you enjoy my little blunder as much as I do! Now go bake yourselves a couple of loaves of this amazingness!
Recipe:
2 cups millet flour
3/4 cup sorghum flour
3/4 cup potato starch
1 cup raw cane sugar
4 tsp baking powder
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp kosher salt
2 tsp cinnamon
2 medium very ripe bananas
1 1/3 cups applesauce
1/3 cup coconut oil
4 tbsp cashew milk (or non-dairy milk of choice)
4 eggs
In a large bowl combine the flours, starch, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. In the bowl of an electric mixer combine the bananas, applesauce, coconut oil, milk, eggs and sugar. Beat the wet ingredients until well combined. Gradually mix in the flour mixture, periodically scraping down the sides of the bowl.
Grease two loaf pans with coconut oil and pour half of the batter in one pan and the rest in the other. Bake at 350 degrees until browned and a toothpick comes out clean. Approximately 55 minutes. When the bread no longer has a wetness to the top and it is starting to brown, place a sheet of foil over the top of both pans in the oven and leave it until the loaves are fully baked. This will prevent the tops from becoming over-baked.
This is truly a great mistake. I am so glad I messed this one up! 🙂
