Rice Flour Banana Bread (Wheat Free)

Recipe #92196 | 1¼ hours | 10 min prep | add private note

By: fluffernutter

I always seem to have rice flour on hand (for Vietnamese and Thai food), and am always looking for ways to use it up. This recipe is from the incomparable Beatrice Ojakangas' "Great Whole Grain Breads" (Simon & Schuster, 1984,1993). The recipe calls for small loaf pans, probably to reduce the baking time. Might be possible to use a large pan, but I haven't tried.

SERVES 10 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. 2
    In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until creamy.
  3. 3
    Beat in eggs, one at a time.
  4. 4
    Stir in buttermilk and lemon extract and mix well.
  5. 5
    Combine rice flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt and add to the butter mixture.
  6. 6
    Stir in bananas and coconut and mix well.
  7. 7
    Spoon the mixture into two greased mini loaf pans (5 1/2 by 3 inches).
  8. 8
    Bake 50 to 55 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
  9. 9
    Cool in pans 2 minutes, then turn out and cool completely.

I made this for some gluten free relatives (nieces and nephews) and the loved it. I did not use the coconut but used 1 and 1/2 cups bananas. I used the small loaf pans and it made three loaves. It was suprisingly moist since most rice flour breads tend to be a little dry. This one is a keeper. I will make for them again.

    I made little muffins out of these (but can't remember how long they took to bake--sorry). They were light and tasty. I substituted plain lowfat yogurt for the buttermilk and didn't have lemon extract, so I just used a couple teaspoons of lemon juice. I really liked the addition of the coconut (though I burned a batch trying to toast it. ) Thanks for posting! LATER: I made this again yesterday as a loaf. I 1 1/2ed the recipe to fit a 9x5 pan and it fit perfectly. the taste was amazing, but for some reason it turned out a little more crumbly this time. I think I baked it for 60 minutes... not too much longer than the mini loaf pan! Thanks again.. my husband is requesting that I make this again soon.

    we also loved it, the flavor is so good! instead of lemon extract, i used the zest of a half of a lemon. i tried to counteract the crumbliness by baking at 400 for about 40 minutes. it kind of worked. next time i would add more oil to try to get it less crumbly. this made a beeeaaautiful loaf and i was so pleased to see a gf recipe without one million types of flours and gums!
