Gluten Free Bananas Foster

Gluten Free Bananas Foster with Homemade Banana Liqueur

If you wish to impress your guests, flambe a dessert. Bananas Foster may be served flambe-style, though it is not necessary. If you’ve never had Bananas Foster, now is your chance. It is extremely delicious and easy to make. The caramel sauce is simply made with butter, brown sugar, and a couple of alcohols. Traditionally served over vanilla ice cream, enjoy this gluten free bananas foster over bread pudding, waffles, French toast, in crepes, and my favorite, wait for it…over cheesecake. You can also serve the caramelized bananas alone with just the sauce. To die for! If you do not light the alcohol or cook it off, you’ll feel as if you had a cocktail or two! – Just warning you.

Gluten Free Banana Liqueur

An incredible gluten free banana liqueur recipe that will knock your socks off because it is so easy to make and is so delicious!
Course Adult Beverage
Cuisine American
Ingredient Keyword banana, breadcrumbs, simple syrup
Prep Time 7 minutes
Cook Time 40 minutes
Total Time 4 days 47 minutes
Servings 2 cups (16 fluid ounces)

Ingredients

For the Liqueur:

  • 2 small ripe bananas peeled, sliced and roughly chopped
  • 1-1/3 cups light rum
  • 1 cup simple syrup see below

For the Simple Syrup:

  • Simple Syrup Recipe See above link

Instructions

  1. Place the banana in a glass jar, add rum, screw the lid on tightly, and shake. Allow mixture to rest for 4 days, shaking about once a day. (Don't worry if you forget a day or two. Don't worry if it looks brown.)
  2. Any day prior to day 4, make the simple syrup and heat to about 205°F or until a light syrup forms, similar to the syrup in canned fruit. Refrigerate until chilled. (Make the entire recipe. It's great to have on hand for making cocktails ,creating moisture in other recipes, and basting cake layers to soften crust or edges.)
  3. Pour the chilled simple syrup into the banana mixture, cover, and shake to combine.
  4. On day 4 or 5 strain the mixture using a fine mesh strainer. Discard the banana pieces.
  5. Line the strainer with 6 - 8 layers of cheesecloth. Strain the mixture again. (It will no longer be cloudy.) Store in the refrigerator 2 to 3 months. Shake before pouring. Use in a classic bananas foster recipe or serve as a dessert liqueur.

  6. Store in an air-tight container in the refrigerator. While I do not advise it, I kept mine for as long as 2 years in the refrigerator and it was still delicious, though a little brown in color.

Tips

*Some makers of rum age it in barrels that were previously used to age whiskey. If you are extremely sensitive to gluten (cannot tolerate the allowed less than 20 parts per million), you should avoid such brands of rum. Check with each manufacturer.

I used overly ripe bananas and it still turned out very well. If your bananas are brown, the color of the liqueur may be a little darker/tanish yellow.

Gluten Free Honey Oat Bread Video (Machine or Oven)

Video of Making Gluten Free Oat Bread in a Bread Machine

I was asked to create a gluten free recipe video for an upcoming women’s health summit; however, it was postponed. Here is the first half of the video showing you how I make my Gluten Free Oat Bread Recipe in a Bread Machine (using sugar or honey). I hope this helps you in your gluten free baking. I list the bread machine model on the recipe page. Meanwhile, stay tuned for my gluten free naan video tomorrow.

Note: To make this recipe dairy-free, just omit the non-fat dry milk. You can also substitute the water with rice milk. To make this recipe oat-free, substitute the oat flour with sorghum flour and use 2 additional tablespoons of oil.

After you watch the video…

Gluten Free Beef Stir Fry with Broccoli (Lower-Fat Option)

During a visit at PF Chang’s, our waitress stated that most of the entrees are over 1,000 calories. It was hard for me to imagine, but after learning how to stir-fry the authentic way, I now understand. If you want amazing flavor in your stir-fry meat, use lots of oil. I have provided an authentic recipe below, but feel free to use less oil to reduce calories. Continue reading “Gluten Free Beef Stir Fry with Broccoli (Lower-Fat Option)”

Gluten Free Hot Chili Oil Recipe

Homemade Gluten Free Chili Oil

I use hot chili oil in many of my Asian dishes such as the dipping sauce for my Gluten Free Potstickers Recipe and sometimes in Fried Rice.  Often readers inform me that they cannot find chili oil in their local stores. I decided to solve that problem by supplying you with a homemade hot chili oil recipe. I hope you enjoy it and find it useful. You can fry chicken in it, add a bit to ice cream and other unsuspecting food. Continue reading “Gluten Free Hot Chili Oil Recipe”

Mild Gluten Free Sweet Chili Sauce Recipe

Homemade Gluten Free Sweet Chili Sauce

Sweet chili sauce is a Thai favorite. You can purchase this sauce in bottles. One brand that is gluten free is Thai Kitchen Sweet Chili Sauce. If you’re allergic to tapioca, choose another gluten free brand or make this recipe. It’s easy to make it at home, though; and can be stored for a very long time. (Though it begins to loose its heat after a month or so.) While ginger is not a common ingredient in sweet chili sauce, I provide it as an option in my recipe. Lately, I use fresh ginger in almost all of my Asian dishes. Use this sauce in dips, dipping sauces, and my favorite, Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps/Cups. I think I’ll start using this as my go-to dip for my Gluten Free Potsticker Recipe. Since it contains no oil, it is low in fat and calories (not carbs). For added calories, use a little salad oil or my new Gluten Free Chili Oil Recipe.

Grain-Free Gluten-Free Black Bean Brownies (Allergen-Free)

Gluten Free Black Bean Brownies

Bean flours create higher risen baked goods, but many of the flours create a bitter flavor. One way of getting around this is by using cooked beans. I prefer to use refried black beans. They’re so creamy and not bitter at all. The dark color is perfect for chocolate dishes such as this gluten free brownie recipe. It is dairy-free, gum-free, and grain-free, techinically, as buckwheat is a seed, not a grain. Some refer to buckwheat as pseudograin.

Enjoy this healthier style gluten free recipe as part of my January 2015 Healthy Gluten Free Diet Event. Continue reading “Grain-Free Gluten-Free Black Bean Brownies (Allergen-Free)”

Crunchy Homemade Gluten Free Gingerbread Granola

Gluten Free Gingerbread Granola

‘Tis the season for everything eggnog, pumpkin, peppermint and gingerbread. This gluten free granola recipe is no different, as it is gingerbread flavored. Nature’s Path makes one where for everyone sold, they done one to a food shelter. However, unfortunately, it’s not gluten free. Once I saw it, I just had to create my own recipe. I used most of the ingredients they use, accept I used “gluten free” oats, added tons of nuts, some brown flax seed meal (it has more omega’s than golden flax seeds), agave and honey. I didn’t have any crystallized ginger, but omitted the rice starch intentionally. Because it contains evaporated cane juice sugar, it turns out crispier than the Gluten Free Granola Recipe I usually make. However, because it is sweet, I don’t need to add raisins or other dried fruit. Continue reading “Crunchy Homemade Gluten Free Gingerbread Granola”
