Can I use a gluten free blend to make Gluten Free Chocolate Banana Bread?
I get asked that question a lot and the answer is that it depends on the recipe. For this recipe the individual flours work the best.
The reality is that I have found that in order to get the best desserts you need individual gluten free flours not blends. That is against popular opinion but I have found it true more times than not.
Yes, a blend will often get you good results. Using the individual flours though will usually get you the best results. They will get you a dessert that will have people coming back for more. It will be a recipe that no one will know is gluten free!
For this recipe it is worth it to make it just as it is written with the individual flours
Can I freeze banana bread?
Yes, banana bread freezes great. Bake the bread, let it cool, wrap well, and freeze. Defrost, slice, and serve. You can also bake it, let it cool, slice it, and then freeze the slices for easy breakfasts, lunches, and snacks.
