Or at least of the Gods that I worship...
I promised you this recipe if the original author's website didn't come back online, and Lo! No website reappearance equals my doing you the HUGE favour of making a loaf of peanut butter banana bread to work up a new post, just because I promised you I'd do it. No other reason. None at all.
You're welcome.
250 grams all-purpose gluten free flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon xantham gum
4 medium bananas, mashed (I use 3 bananas and it works out just fine)
130 grams creamy peanut butter
105 grams granulated sugar
110 grams light brown sugar
80 mls buttermilk (I used ordinary milk and added a teaspoon of lemon juice, then left it to set for 5 mins or so)
60 mls olive oil
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
I'll be a little less slap-dash with my directions than I normally am, seeing as there's nowhere for me to link to give you the real directions, so excuse me while I adjust my technical cap a little...
Method:
Preheat oven to 175C and grease the tin/pan/whatever you usually use for cake-loaves. (I use a handy baking spray by Doctor Oetker, but feel free to use whichever method you prefer.) The directions also suggest lining the pan with baking paper so it hangs over the side - to make it easier to pull out, I'm reckoning, but this confuses me... I've found the baking spray to be enough to ensure the bread come out of the pan easily, and adding paper on top of the already-sprayed tin seems... wasteful, somehow, but I'll be happy to be corrected on that point!
In a large bowl blend bananas (already mushed if you're doing it old-school like me), peanut butter, and sugar with a hand mixer until well combined (as you can see, I did mine the old-fashioned way with my trusty plastic bowl and wooden spoon combo), then slowly add the oil, buttermilk, eggs and vanilla.
Pour into the prepared pan and bake for 60 minutes, or until a knife (or cake-tester) comes out clean.
The suggestion then is to serve with strong coffee on a bright Summer morning, but seeing as we're in Autumn, and even I have a pretentiousness limit, I instead waited until it had cooled, sliced it up, made lots of arty-farty photographs in bad light, and tried to pretty them up with my PC's photo editing software.
Then I divvied up the slabs, stuffed them into bags and wanged them in the freezer.
