Ingredients

Instructions

Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas.

In a 2-quart saucepan bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the chickpeas and baking soda and boil for 6-8 minutes until soft. If skins are floating strain those off. Drain the chickpeas and pick out any large skins.

In a food processor or blender add the chickpeas, tahini, garlic, salt, cumin, paprika, olive oil and lemon juice. Blend until smooth stopping to scrape down the sides as needed between blending.

Add 2 tablespoons of cold water and blend. If the hummus is too thick add another 2 tablespoons of cold water and blend until incorporated.

Serve topped with a drizzle of olive oil and paprika sprinkled on top.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to peel the chickpeas for hummus?

I've made hummus both ways. I think when I do remove most of the chickpeas peel that the hummus is smoother. I don't think removing the skins changes the flavor at all.

When I do remove the skins I wait until after I've boiled the chickpeas. Most of the skins will fall off in the water and can be skimmed off the top. After draining the chickpeas I quickly pick out any large skins in the strainer and then move on to make the hummus.

Is it better to make hummus in a food processor or a blender?

Both will work, but I prefer using my food processor for making hummus. I think the hummus turns out smoother. I also think making the hummus is quicker in a food processor. But, if all you've got is a blender it will work. You may want to add the cold water sooner if you need more liquid for your blender to work.

What do you serve hummus with?

I like to serve hummus with fresh vegetables and with gluten free crackers. My favorite gluten free crackers are: Good Thins Rice Crackers, Nut-Thins Almond Crackers, Simple Mills Almond Flour Crackers and Crunchmaster Multi Grain Crackers.

Ingredients

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

Grease a 9x13 baking pan with coconut oil or butter. Set aside.

In the bowl of your stand mixer beat the granulated sugar and room temperature butter until creamed together. This will take 3-4 minutes. 

Add the mashed bananas, coconut oil, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla and sour cream to this mixture. Mix until blended together.

Add the flour, xanthum gum, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Blend the batter just until the dry ingredients are mixed with the wet ingredients. Don't over blend! 

Pour the cake batter into the greased 9x13 baking pan. 

Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes. The cake will be browned and firm, but slightly spongy to the touch.

Let the cake cool for 10-15 minutes. Then place parchment paper on top of a baking sheet and invert the cake onto this. Skip this step if you want to frost the cake as is in the pan. 

Let the cake cool completely before frosting. I used my Gluten Free Chocolate Buttercream Frosting recipe.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between banana bread and banana cake?

The texture and sweetness are the two biggest differences between banana bread and banana cake. Banana cake has a fluffier texture while banana bread is denser.

Banana cake has more sugar in it and has a sweeter taste than banana bread. If you want a similar flavor to this cake using banana bread I would suggest spreading your banana bread with Nutella. It's delicious!

What do you put on a gluten free banana cake?

I used my recipe for Gluten Free Chocolate Buttercream Frosting. You could also use this recipe for Cream Cheese Frosting. Either way the cake is going to be fluffy and delicious.

I also like a little crunch so I add chopped walnuts to the top of the cake. If you can't have nuts you can skip this step, but I really like how it adds to the flavor of the cake.

What makes a cake light and fluffy?

The first thing you need to do is whip together your room temperature butter and sugars until they are light and fluffy. This will take 3-4 minutes. This step is key!

I've also added sour cream to this recipe which I think really helps a cake to be light and fluffy. You could also use plain greek yogurt if you don't have sour cream.

Notes

Be sure to use certified gluten free Worcestershire sauce in this recipe. Standard Worcestershire sauce is not gluten free as it typically contains malt vinegar which is made from barley. Always check the label carefully and look for a product that is specifically labeled certified gluten free. Lea and Perrins is one of the most widely available brands and their Worcestershire sauce is considered gluten free in the United States, but always verify the label on the bottle you purchase to be sure.

Storage

Store leftover gluten free cowboy baked beans in a sealed airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 5 days. These beans reheat beautifully and the flavor gets even better the next day as the sauce continues to develop overnight. Reheat on the stovetop over medium low heat stirring occasionally until warmed through, or microwave individual portions in a covered bowl. These cowboy baked beans also freeze well. Store in a freezer safe container for up to 3 months and thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.

Top Tip

Do not drain the pork and beans before adding them to the dutch oven. The liquid in the can is part of what creates the rich and saucy base for these cowboy baked beans. All of the other canned beans should be drained and rinsed as the recipe calls for, but keeping the pork and beans liquid in the pot adds flavor and helps the sauce come together beautifully during baking. If you drain all four cans of beans the finished dish will be too thick and dry rather than saucy and rich.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are cowboy baked beans?

Cowboy baked beans are a hearty and flavor packed version of classic baked beans that are loaded with meat, typically ground beef and bacon, along with multiple types of beans and a rich smoky BBQ sauce. Unlike traditional baked beans which are usually served as a simple side dish, cowboy beans are substantial enough to serve as a complete main course. The combination of sweet, smoky, and tangy flavors from the BBQ sauce, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and mustard is what makes them so irresistible.

Can I make these cowboy baked beans ahead of time?

Absolutely and I actually recommend it! These beans taste even better the next day after the flavors have had more time to develop and meld together overnight in the refrigerator. You can assemble the entire dish and bake it a day ahead, then reheat it covered in a 350 degree oven for about 20 minutes before serving. They are also a great make ahead option for summer cookouts and potlucks since they travel well and reheat beautifully.

Can I make these cowboy baked beans in a slow cooker?

Yes! To make these in a slow cooker, brown the ground beef and cook the onion and garlic on the stovetop first, then transfer everything to your slow cooker and add all of the remaining ingredients. Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours. The slow cooker version is a great option for summer entertaining because it keeps the beans warm throughout the party without heating up your kitchen.

What kind of BBQ sauce should I use for this recipe?

Any BBQ sauce you enjoy works well in this recipe. Just make sure to check the label and use a certified gluten free BBQ sauce as many store bought versions contain gluten. A smoky or hickory flavored BBQ sauce gives the beans the most classic cowboy flavor but a sweet BBQ sauce works beautifully too. If you prefer a spicier version look for a chipotle or spicy BBQ sauce for an extra kick.

Can I make this recipe without ground beef?

Yes! If you want to make a meatless version you can omit the ground beef entirely and the beans will still be hearty and delicious thanks to the bacon and the four types of beans. You can also substitute ground turkey or ground chicken for the beef if you prefer a lighter option. The cooking time and method remain the same regardless of which protein you choose.

Can I use different types of beans in this recipe?

Absolutely. The four bean combination of butter beans, navy beans, kidney beans, and pork and beans is what gives these cowboy beans their hearty texture and variety but you can easily swap in whatever canned beans you have on hand. Great northern beans, black beans, or cannellini beans all work well as substitutes. Just remember to drain and rinse all of the canned beans except for the pork and beans, which should go in with their liquid for the best sauce consistency.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a walking taco made of?

A traditional walking taco is made in the bag of chips. Most use a single serving size bag of Doritos or Frito chips. This casserole uses the same concept of being an easy one dish meal, but is made in a skillet or baking dish rather than in the chip bag.

I topped this walking taco casserole with gluten free tortilla chips, lettuce, tomatoes, olives and extra cheddar cheese. You could substitute a different type of gluten free chip and also add avocado on top too.

How long do I bake this gluten free taco casserole?

This gluten free taco casserole bakes at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. You precook the ground beef and onions. You are baking the walking taco casserole just to melt the cheese.

Why You'll Love This Recipe

  • Made with almond flour and oats for a hearty, filling muffin
  • Completely dairy free
  • Naturally sweetened with banana and a touch of honey
  • Great for using up overripe bananas

Ingredient Notes

  • The combination of almond flour and gluten free flour gives these muffins a moist, tender crumb, while the oats add heartiness and texture.
  • Coconut oil and almond milk keep this recipe dairy free, if you don't need it dairy free, the Notes section already mentions you can swap in butter for the coconut oil.

Ways to Customize This Recipe

Add a handful of chocolate chips or chopped walnuts to the batter for a fun twist. Blueberries also work well folded in gently at the end.

Storage and Freezing

These gluten free banana muffins are best stored in an air tight container. You can leave them on your counter for up to 3 days and then it's best to move them to the refrigerator to keep them fresh.

These muffins also freeze really well. I like to freeze them in individual bags so I have something quick to put in lunches or to take out for breakfast or a snack.

Top Tip

These gluten free banana oat muffins are easy to mix together and really rise into a dense, delicious muffin. With the combination of almond flour and oats they are hardy and keep me satisfied long after breakfast.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use gluten free flour instead of almond flour?

Yes. Swap the almond flour for about 2 ½ cups of gluten free flour. The muffins will rise a bit more since almond flour is heavier, so you may want to divide the batter into 15 to 16 muffins instead of 12.

Can I use oat flour instead of a gluten free flour blend?

Using only oat flour in place of a mixed gluten free flour blend will make the muffins denser and change the texture, they won't be quite as light and fluffy. If you'd like to experiment, try mixing oat flour with your usual gluten free flour blend rather than replacing it entirely.
