Comments for Gluten Free on a Shoestring

Comment on Banana Muffins by Catherine

Thanks to Jessica for that note about cinnamon-sugar on top (I’d just put mine in the oven, and took them out quickly to add what did indeed turn into a nice crusty topping). I’d like to thank Nicole for yet another useful recipe. After a year of going gluten-free, I’ve been starting to get a bit sulky lately. (Who needs gluten? I do! It really does terrific things! How am I supposed to create my perfect sponge cake for my perfect tiramisu?! Pout, pout.) These muffins cheer a whole family right up!
My note: I made these in mini-muffin tins (made 34 muffins), and the baking time came to 20 minutes.
Ever since finding “Tom’s bread” recipe here last August (and making two loaves a week ever since), I have consulted your site regularly, and am so grateful it’s here!

I have all the ingredients on hand except for the cream. Can I substitute it with whole milk?

Ah, thank you for posting a second version to this bread. I tried again but still no rise, just flat, hard bread. I think I may give up. I have no problem in the bread maker… just thought loaves of french bread would be amazing in our gluten-free home. I’d love to hear if anyone else had this problem or solved it?!

Hi, Em,
I know. This recipe is amazing. I only wish I had come up with it myself! Thanks for posting, and I’m so glad you’re enjoying the bread.
Warmly,

Hi, Theresa,
Definitely, any dairy substitute will work, as long as it’s not fat free. Almond milk should work well. I don’t think you need it to be thicker than usual. Let us know how it turns out! Thanks for posting your question. I’m sure others were wondering the same thing.
Warmly,
Nicole

Just a quick question for the dairy-sensitive… is the cream necessary or could I use almond milk? Perhaps make a thicker batch of almond milk so it’s almost cream-like? These look AMAZING and I can’t wait to make them!

WOW! I’ve made this loaf twice now and I can barely believe how perfect it is. GF Sandwich bread was impossible, I thought! This stuff is soft, cuts easily, tastes great (but mild enough not to take over fillings) and almost cleans up after itself too coz it rocks so much lol
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!

Thank you for posting this Nicole–I’ve been looking for just this kind of recipe–that photo is amazing. I’ve planned something else for dessert with friends tonight but now I wish I could make this!

I love mango salsa on corn tortillas (with fish or chicken or just cheese and veggies)…yum.
