I was having a look through the Petite Kitchen website for some healthy lunchbox ideas for the school lunches when I came across the Gluten free sandwich bread recipe. I like the idea of Gluten free but have never come across a bread, made or store (EXPENSIVE) bought that I like.
This recipe has only a handful of ingredients and was really easy to make. But.......I'm NOT sure I would call this sandwich bread. To me it is more "loaf" than bread. I enjoyed it smothered with butter and washed down with a cup of tea. Bell preferred it this way too. The nutty smell is divine and you can really smell and taste the banana, so I think it would limit what fillings you would use.
Tomorrow in the school lunches I'm going to pop in a sandwich each using this "bread" with butter and jam and see if they like it.
It will definitely be a recipe I will continue to use, and add in other nuts and seeds. I thought I may have left it in a little too long but when slicing it up it was super soft and not dry at all.
Lovely but give me a big chunk of white bread any day!
Gluten free sandwich bread
1 cup of almond or peanut butter
1 ripe banana, sliced in to pieces
2 free range eggs
1 tsp baking soda
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
a handful of seed for decorating (optional)
Preheat the Oven to 180°C, and line a loaf tin with baking paper.
In a large bowl, add the nut or seed butter, banana, eggs, baking soda and vinegar. Using a potato masher, mash all ingredients well and mix together until mixture resembles a smooth paste, you can also do this in a food processor.
Spoon the batter into the loaf tin and spread out until even on top. If decorating with seeds, scatter them evenly on top. Pop in to the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean. Leave to cool in the tin before inverting on to a cooling rack.

ReplyDeleteThe bread looks really really good. Will give it a try! And I want your tea cosie...
ReplyDeleteThis looks and sounds so yummy! I think I might have to try it :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for joining in!

Looks so great. Sounds yummy!!
ReplyDeleteI really like the sound of this...I'm going to give it a try!
ReplyDeleteSounds good, but does as you say sound more like a "loaf" than a "bread". Yummy!! xx
ReplyDeleteLooks yummo, but i'm with you….nothing quite like a fat piece of white bread with lashings of butter and honey x
ReplyDeleteYum, it sounds really good, but definitely what I call a quick bread - not made for sandwiches. Banana and peanut butter - two of my favorite baked good ingredients!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds really good but I would have to agree on the white bread. A really tasty alternative, though, I am sure.
ReplyDeleteOooh yum. You inspired me to make it - thanks :-) I tried it as a sandwich bread with cheese and lettuce and it was YUM! Definitely different. But nice. And it passed the Ruby test. Lots of almond butter though so not cheap. :-)
ReplyDeleteMmmmmmm - looks yummy (and healthy too)!!!

Yum! That looks great! You have a wonderful blog!
ReplyDeleteThis looks lovely, but perhaps more of a snack type bread than one I'd make sandwiches with - I think my fussy eaters would be put off by the seeds. I'd gobble it all though!
ReplyDeleteVery excited to see you have chickens, I am jealous. x
