being inventive
Soooo.
A couple of days ago I made gf banana bread, using the recipe on the back of the Arrowhead Mills box. It was dry. And bland. And dry. Ugh.
And I remembered tres leches and I thought, hey, I could soak the banana bread in some kind of milk. So I poured some coconut milk and soy milk over it and let it soak overnight. Next day: eh. It was ok. Not great. At least it wasn't dry anymore.
I was determined not to waste that expensive flour, so I put it back in the fridge.
Tonight, while making dinner, I remember that bread pudding is some kind of soaked bread that you bake, right? So I google and come up with a few recipes. Seems to be cake or bread soaked in milk with some sort of egg + sugar + vanilla concoction poured on top and baked. Perfect.
Mashed a bunch of the pre-soaked banana bread into a little baking dish, whipped up an egg, 1/3 cup sugar, 2 tbsp pumpkin pie spice, 1 tsp vanilla, poured that on top of the mashed bread, baked @ 350F for 45 min. Ate with soy cherry & chocolate ice cream. Amazing.
Yay! I love it when inventions work. :)
