Banana Everything!

I've been making gluten free & corn free treats for my bf, who really likes banana flavored anything.

Banana bread works great. Got that one.

I have made homemade vanilla pudding, and blended fresh bananas into it. The pudding turned grey and nasty, looking like cream of mushroom soup. Ugh. So far, the best I can do is wait until we are ready to eat, then slice up bananas for the top of the pudding. Same thing with banana cream pie.

Now, he has also mentioned he would like to make some banana ice cream.

Does anyone have any suggestions on

(1) how to incoporate fresh bananas into a recipe without discoloration?

(2) a safe gluten free banana flavoring that I could add to recipes?

(3) a way to make banana ice cream?

(4) safe banana flavored products?

(5) good gluten free banana recipes of any kind?

Thanks!!

Melt some choco chips or any choco for that matter, cut bananas as desired, dip in choco, then nuts, coconut or not, then place on lined tray and freeze. Eat straight from the freezer.

Take bananas, slice lengthwise in half. Heat skillet w/ a little butter. Place bananas in and saute, without moving-maybe flip once, remove when just golden brown and softened. Serve on plain yogurt, maybe with a bit of honey and or chopped nuts, but just yogurt and banana are very good!

Any kind of citrus juice is helpful to protect things like apples, pears, bananas from browning.

You can add chopped banana to rice pudding while you are cooking it. It blends in and infuses the dessert with a subtle banana taste. You can do the same thing with porridge.

My favourite breakfast is gluten-free toast or waffles, spread with honey, topped with chopped banana and yoghurt, and cinnamon sprinkled on top.

I love bananas! As was already suggested, citrus juice will keep the bananas from discoloring. I love the sauteed bananas in butter and brown sugar--I add cinnamon to it and serve over vanilla ice cream. I'll have to try it with yogurt.

Most mornings, I chop a banana and mix it into Greek yogurt and sprinkle with cinnamon and blueberries. If I do this at night for dessert, I add some honey to it.

I have made chocolate chip banana ice cream (I have a Cuisinart ice cream maker) by blending a couple bananas in the blender with the milk I'm using. Chocolate banana ice cream is good too--add unsweetened cocoa and sweeten as you like.

How about banana waffles?

Open Original Shared Link

My favorite way is with mini chocolate chips, a spoonful of whipped cream and a drizzle of chocolate syrup.

Top any way you like. I use 1 and 1/2 cups milk in the recipe.

Smoothies made how you like them. Chocolate milk, banana, strawberries. Ingredients partially frozen. Whip in the blender.

Here's a couple ,

Slice a banana lengthwise while in peel. Spread P.Butter in center and wrap in plastic and freeze. When ready cut into slices and remove peel. Keeping the peel off just make it easier it has no other purpose.

Banana , yogurt, dash of milk and, Choc. or Strawberry sauce in blender makes a nice smoothie.

Cover banana in PButter, roll in granola or raisins and stick on bamboo skewer with pointy tip cut off. Stick makes for fun.

These are all great ideas! thank you guys so much!

@Mizzo - Bananas rolled in PB, honey and cereal are a favorite childhood treat of mine, although my bf, unfortunately, thinks that it's really nasty :huh:

@Dave - I will have to try the blended bananas, what a great idea esp since homemade ice cream takes so much planning and effort!

@Patti - did you have to eat the ice cream right away, or did it store ok without discoloring? I'm kind of timid after the "mushroom soup" incident... lol

How about a gluten free banana pudding mix, is there such a thing? I have other issues with making homemade pudding anyway (think it's related to potato starch vs corn starch, but that's another thread).

It stored fine in the freezer. It mellows a little bit, but does not discolor to the point of being unappetizing. :)

I used to make a quick dessert with bananas. Put it in a large clear bowl or individual clear bowls so you can see the layers.

Put a layer of sliced bananas, then a layer of strawberries. Then a layer of frozen orange juice concentrate straight from the can, but allowed to thaw out enough to pour it. Continue to layer until you reach the top of the bowl and sprinkle with coconut.

I know of a vegan ice cream that is purported to be good but I haven't tried it. Freeze chunks of bananas then put them in the blender. You can add nuts or chocolate to this.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around. The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me. Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients. The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus! Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces! Considering...

      I think, after reading this, that you areso traumatized by not being able yo understand what your medical advisors have been  what medical conditions are that you would like to find a group of people who also feel traumatized who would agree with you and also support you. You are on a crusade much as the way the US Cabinet  official, the Health Director of our nation is in trying to change what he considers outdated and incorrect health advisories. He does not have the education, background or experience to be in the position he occupies and is not making beneficial decisions. That man suffered a terrible trauma early in his life when his father was assonated. We see now how he developed and worked himself into a powerful position.  Unless you are willing to take some advice or  are willing to use a few of the known methods of starting on a path to better health then not many of us on this Celiac Forum will be able to join you in a continuing series of complaints about medical advisors.    I am almost 90 years old. I am strictly gluten free. I use 2 herbs to help me stay as clear minded as possible. You are not wrong in complaining about medical practitioners. You might be more effective with a clearer mind, less anger and a more comfortable life if you would just try some of the suggestions offered by our fellow celiac volunteers.

Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.
