banana bread

Can anybody help I just made the banana bread did exactly as directions said but my bread fell apart into pieces

If the bread turned out "crumbly" my guess is it was cooked a little too long, the nut flours need a bit more moisture to firmly stay together. Our ovens vary in temp from house to house and an extra 5 minutes of cooking makes a difference. I would also suggest you let it cool completely before slicing. I know we all want that fresh from the oven hot slice but it's best to wait.

Of course crumbled Bananna bread in a dish with a squirt of Reddi-wip is still pretty darn good!

People tend to overbake. Cool completely before slicing If its still crumbly put in fridge.It will firm up. I would have eaten it anyway my friend! I have never had bad banana bread!

Hi, I’m wondering about the carbs in the banana bread recipe from the new bakery book. I used Bob’s Mill almond flour and that is 18 carbs right there just for the flour (3 net per ¼ cup). So maybe my almond flour has too many carbs? The recipe says 14 for the whole thing which also includes 2 eggs (2 net) and ¾ cup chopped walnuts which is almost 7 right there. So that means the flour used would have to be 5 net carbs for 1.5 cups. Am I doing something wrong? Also for the record, mine fell apart too, but that didn't stop me, it tasted amazing, even in crumbles

Hi F2S-Awesome!

Bob's Red Mill almond flour is quite high in carbs.

Try using Now brand almond flour.
I by mine at: http://www.netrition.com/now_almond_flour_page.html

It's only 4 net carbs per cup!

I sure wish I was a good enough cook to make banana bread. That just sounds SO yummy!

Sherripie, this recipe was sooooo easy. You CAN do it. I'm sure of it, and oh my goodness, it's so so good. Umpa is a genius!

Old topic...new fix...

Try adding 1 more egg. It acts as a binder and will hold it together. Tried this this weekend on some biscuits and worked perfectly. I had split the batch of dry ingredients, luckily, as first half totally crumbled. Added an egg to the second half and perfecto!

Yeah

Eggs... The unsung heroes of binding!
