Carob Banana Bread or Cake

I think this is mostly gluten free but not sure about bananas so maybe other fruits like dates might work (pitted)

Here is a list of supposedly gluten free foods https://www.celiac.com/articles.html/safe-gluten-free-food-list-unsafe-foods-amp-ingredients/safe-gluten-free-food-list-safe-ingredients-r181/

Preheat oven to 325 or 350

1/2 cup carob powder - 1 3/4 cups garbanzo bean flour or other non gluten flour (if you tolerate wheat you may use wheat or whole wheat flour)- 2 tsp baking powder - 1/2 tsp baking soda if tolerate the sodium combine all those in a bowl

Beat 2 eggs with mixer then add 1 cup mashed banana, cup milk or water. (Can use 3 egg whites if you prefer less fat.)

⅓ cup olive oil or oil of your choice, can use less but cake will be drier, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, blend until creamy.

Slowly combine mixed dry ingredients with eggs and banana creamy mixture

At end you can add cups of cashews or any nuts or carob chips for a very caroby experience. Or for smoother texture add 1/4 to 1/3 cup almond butter instead of cashews. You can reduce olive oil if you like.

Oil pan, I like 9X13 because gives thinner like brownies. Use whatever size you have. Bake 30 minutes then test if done. If cooking thin layer takes less. Thicker could be 15-30 minutes longer. Insert fork in center when comes out dry then it is done.

I can never let it cool before I try a piece.

@MistyMagic yes if you have questions feel free to ask.

Funny story about the ice cream recipe above, one person I gave the recipe to I told them to freeze the bananas. After they froze the bananas they asked me how to get the skins off - hahahahaah

Take the skins off before you freeze the bananas! Actually I cut the inside of the bananas into slices so the food processor does not have to work so hard.

@amiablePeace77 try it out. It is different with wheat flour so you may have to judge from the liquidity of the batter how much flour to put in.
