While I am resting up from our 88 mile ride and having a boring day, I figured I would entertain you with my banana bread breakfast pudding!
This is a take on the other gluten free pumpkin cake.
Ingredients:
- 2 egg whites (or 1 egg)
- 1 ripe banana, 6-7 inches
- 14 grams of coconut flour (2 tbsp)
- 1/4 tsp of baking powder
- cinnamon
In a bowl, mash the banana until it is liquidy. The riper the banana, the easier this is and the sweeter it is.
Then add the egg whites and cinnamon
And mix well to combine.
Normally I don’t sift coconut flour, but the brand pictured above is a little clumpy, so I like to sift it to keep lumps from happening. I have a tiny little strainer that I just plop over the bowl and add the coconut flour and the baking powder to:
All sifted and pretty.
Now mix really well.
Pour into a small baking dish.
Now you could microwave this for a couple minutes, but it really is much, much better baked. I popped it in the toaster oven at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. You could also put it into 2 muffin cups and reduce the baking time (not sure by how much, but start checking at 12 minutes).
I comes out beautiful and puffed up:
Super moist and delicious!
You can top it however you like. I, myself, love coconut butter and a drizzle of chocolate syrup:
Or even some peanut butter and jam!
This is easy to make ahead and reheat for mornings on the go.

That looks so good. A great way to start the day or even end a meal as a dessert. I like it.

I think I need to keep trying with the coconut flour. There’s something about the texture that I don’t like that much, but I think maybe its more my expectation of what I think it will taste like. And I need to let it be different and let that be okay. If that makes sense.

I think the trick is to not think of it as flour, because it isn’t LOL
Without the gluten, it won’t be like a traditional baked good, but this is moist like pudding, so I really like it. I love bread pudding!
That sounds good and delicious too!

Mmmm love gluten-free treats.
I tried modifying my tiny chocolate cakes to use coconut flour instead of the almond flour but coconut flour isn’t working for me. Made a mushy blob. Maybe I should try 1/2 and 1/2.
Also love your toaster oven. I keep hearing about how bad microwaving is but who has the time to heat/cook everything without one!! Just have to find a new place with room for a toaster oven…

How much is two egg whites? I have the liquid like you do, and I made it today, but it didn’t turn out quite right. I wasn’t sure how much I was supposed to add for the egg whites, and just used 1/4 cup. Thanks!
I Sara. I use 56 grams, which is one serving on my carton (maybe that is a 1/4 cup?). If the egg whites are really cold from being in the fridge, that could affect cooking time.
I made this last night, and it was delicious!! I will definitely be making it again. This was the first thing I made with coconut flour, and I couldn’t stop sticking my nose in the bag to smell it–it smells heavenly!
Next, I think I’ll try making your coconut bread/biscuits.
This looks wonderful and I want to try it. Someone else referred to almond flour – do you think it would work?
Also wanted to ask about the silicone muffin cup you’ve mentioned. All I can find are tiny cupcake sized in packages of six or eight (can’t remember which). I got the impression you have one that you bought individually and is larger. Can you clarify exactly what you are referring to and where you got yours. Thanks and Merry Christmas to you and John!
Sharon´s last [type] ..The Verdict Is In – I’m Sold!
Almond flour would work, but the texture will be different because almond flour is not as absorbent as coconut flour.
Regarding the muffin cups. We got those at a kitchen store, I think. They are jumbo muffin cups and are individual. You can get them all in one silicone pan, which is what I usually see in stores. We just happened to find the individuals.
I just made this for my breakfast and I microwaved it – delicious! I know it would be even better baked so next time I have the oven going I will bake a couple of these to have ready to go.
Thank you for a wonderful recipe!
