"Calling all banana bread lovers! This gluten-free version is just as delicious (if not more so!) and perfect for those with dietary restrictions or simply looking for a lighter option."
Ingredients:
- Petley Grain White Cake Mix (16 oz.)
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons of oil
- 3 small ripe bananas or 2 large, mashed
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans
Baking Instructions:
- Gather Ingredients: Make sure you have all the necessary ingredients ready before you begin.
- Combine Ingredients: Place all the ingredients in a bowl.
- Mix: Blend the ingredients together using a hand whisk or an electric mixer.
- Prepare Pan: Grease an 8 1/2 by 4 1/2 inch loaf pan thoroughly.
- Pour Batter: Carefully pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes.
- Cool: Once baking is complete, carefully remove the loaf pan from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 1 hour. This allows the bread to set and prevents it from becoming soggy.
- Blending can be done with a spoon, hand whisk, or an electric mixer as mentioned in the original instructions. This step likely refers to mixing the wet and dry ingredients together after the initial combining.

Classic & Refreshing:
- Iced Coffee or Tea: A classic for a reason! Black coffee or tea complements the sweetness of the banana bread perfectly. Add milk or cream alternatives (like almond or oat milk) for extra richness.
- Sparkling Water: Plain or flavored sparkling water (like lemon-lime or berry) provides a refreshing contrast to the dense bread.
Fruity & Flavorful:
- Freshly Squeezed Juice: Orange juice, grapefruit juice, or even a tropical blend like mango-pineapple juice offer a vibrant, fruity counterpoint.
- Smoothies: A fruit-based smoothie (banana, berries, spinach) can be a healthy and delicious option, especially if you're looking for a more substantial pairing.
Warm & Cozy:
- Warm Milk: Spiced milk (like chai or turmeric milk) provides a comforting and soothing option, especially on a chilly day.
- Hot Chocolate: A rich, decadent hot chocolate (made with dairy-free milk) is a perfect indulgence for a special treat.
Tips for Choosing:
- Consider the sweetness level: If your banana bread is on the sweeter side, opt for a less sweet beverage.
- Think about the time of day: Coffee or tea is ideal for breakfast, while juice or smoothies are great for a midday snack.
- Experiment and find your favorites! There are no hard and fast rules, so try different combinations to see what you enjoy most.
