My neighbor has a lot of rhubarb in her garden and is happy when I take some off her hands. However, as my husband and I are currently eating grain-free, dairy-free and sugar-free (small amounts of maple syrup are allowed), I had to do a bit of searching for suitable recipes. Now I've found one that I've modified a little.
Gluten-free banana bread
Ingredients (for a 26 cm diameter springform pan):
2 stalks of rhubarb
2 bananas
4 eggs
120 g ground almonds
200 ml coconut milk
2 tbsp maple syrup
2 tbsp ghee
0.5 tsp vanilla powder
1 pinch of salt
Preparation:
- Preheat oven to 180 degrees.
- Generously grease a cake tin (26 cm diameter) with ghee. You will need approx. 1 tablespoon. Melt the remaining tablespoon of ghee.
- Peel the rhubarb and cut into pieces about 2 cm long. Cut the bananas into slices. Mix both and pour into the springform pan.
- Whisk the eggs and mix with the ground almonds, coconut milk, vanilla powder, 1 tbsp liquid ghee and maple syrup. Add a pinch of salt.
- This makes a relatively runny glaze, which you simply pour over the rhubarb and bananas so that they are just covered.
- Bake for 60 minutes at 180 degrees.
If you have greased the tin well, the edges will come away very easily. However, as the cake is a bit "wobbly", I had a bit of trouble getting it away from the base of the tin. I lifted the cake slightly with a cake lifter and pushed a sheet of baking paper underneath. I was then able to pull the cake onto a board.
The cake tastes wonderfully moist and especially delicious when it is still slightly warm.
