 Hey everybody today I'm making some banana bread and we're going to be making this gluten free although you can make it regular by just swapping out the flour everything else is the same no big deal but I want to share with you a little story my son and his friend went to New Zealand recently they were traveling and they were talking with someone there about of all things bananas I know right we're really strange but anyway so they uh they were talking to this guy and they were he was telling them that there are some fantastic bananas in Florida and that they should try them and so my son ordered a box of bananas at a price of $97 for between 10 and 14 pounds of bananas pretty expensive I know and they decided to make some banana bread and let me tell you it was the best tasting banana bread that I've ever had so if you're in Florida you might want to check that out the name of the website is miamifruit.org I have no affiliation but I just thought I'd throw it out there anyway I'm rockin robin and I'm going to show you how to make some delicious banana bread using store-bought regular bananas right after this let's go over the ingredients first up we have our flour I'm using Bob's Red Mill this is one-to-one gluten-free flour and you know like I said you can swap out regular flour if you like you need three bananas good sized bananas here and make sure that they have quite a few brown spots on them you want it to be nice and you know very ripe bananas we'll need a couple of eggs some white sugar I have some raw honey here vanilla extract some butter for our spices I've got some baking soda salt cinnamon and nuts I'm using some walnuts here you can either leave them in or take them out either way you want to preheat your oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit and you want to have a pan a loaf pan like this a metal works the best I think and we're going to coat this with some butter so that the bread doesn't stick now I like using butter instead of you know the sprays because of the propellants I'd rather I'd rather eat butter so that's what we'll do here I'll take some butter and we'll start spreading it throughout the pan all right so now we're going to take our ingredients and we're going to put them basically into two bowls we're going to have the bowl with the dry ingredients and the bowl with the wet ingredients so we'll start with the dry ingredients I have my flour in the bowl already I'm going to add the sugar to it the baking soda the salt and the cinnamon now you want to whisk this really well to combine everything because once we add our dry ingredients to our wet ingredients we're just going to fold it in we don't want to over mix so we got to start out already having everything well combined now for our wet ingredients I'm going to take the butter and I'm going to melt it in the microwave now how I do it typically is I'll place it in there for about 45 seconds on power level three take it out stir it up and once it's all melted then you're good to go but don't boil it or don't you know make it splatter so I'm going to peel my bananas and I'm going to put everything in here even the bruises I'm not going to worry about that you want to make sure that these bananas are nice and ripe that way they'll be nice and sweet and your banana bread will just turn out so much better so buy them ahead of time let them sit on your counter and they will ripen up now we want to mash them and you want to keep mashing these until they turn into you know they get really mushy almost liquidy like now next we're going to toss in that melted butter and you want to use a spatula to get every last drop out of there now we're going to add in the vanilla extract now we want to get our eggs in a separate bowl and whisk them up separately so that you know we get them really well combined we get that egg yolk and the whites mixed together well once those are mixed up good we'll place them in our wet mixture and the last wet ingredient we have is the honey so if you were to use all sugar in this you would use one cup of sugar by the way I'll put that down in the in the description of the video where you find the written recipe I'll put the conversions down there for you in case you want to use just all white sugar and we're going to add that to our wet ingredients okay so now you want to just make sure that everything is really well combined and that honey is you know really combined in there and dispersed okay now what we do is we just take all of our dry ingredients and just pour it into the wet ingredients and we're going to fold this in you don't want to over mix but you just want to make sure everything gets wet okay okay I'm going to toss in the walnuts I remember this is optional if you want them you can have them if you don't want them you just leave them out so just keep folding things in until everything all the flour mixture looks like it's you know mixed in all right so now we're ready to pour this in our pan just spread it out a little bit push it into all the corners now we're going to pop this in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit and we're going to check it at 45 minutes with a toothpick and see if it comes out dry all right so we're going to test our bread it's been 40 45 minutes what we're looking for is a clean toothpick coming out of here okay so it's a little wet right there there's still some moisture coming out on the toothpick so we're going to go another five minutes now you want to do this every five minutes until you get a clean toothpick all right I let my banana bread cook about 55 minutes remember ovens will vary and it smells incredible love the smell all right I'm going to cut into it it's still warm you know how I like to eat my banana bread I really love it with a little bit of butter on it oh it's still pretty hot especially when it's hot like this when it's warm so I'm going to put a little butter on mine let that melt a second and take a bite really delicious guys it's moist a beautiful banana flavor and aroma I like the little walnuts in there a little bit of crunch very delicious man you guys are gonna love this so good love the little bit of hint of cinnamon in there man I really love the moistness though that's the kick that's the real thing for me love that it's very delicious um I you guys are gonna love
