The patissiers of Barcelona's Casa Leopoldo restaurant, Rocío Parejo y Eddi Artega, have today prepared a very special sponge cake for us: gluten-free banana bread.
How best to put ripe bananas about to go over to good use? Don't worry! Today chef Romain Fornell shows us the tricks of how to use them and not let them go to waste.
But why is this banana bread so special? Because it's suitable for people with coeliac disease so everyone can enjoy it.
The banana is a sweet fruit, very rich in carbohydrates, minerals and fibre beneficial to the intestine. It also has very high levels of potassium, phosphorous and magnesium.
It's a solid bread with a subtle taste but you can already start to smell it when it's in the oven. Are you going to miss this one? You won't be able to resist this marvellous banana bread!
