Gluten-Free Banana Walnut Buttermilk Biscuits

Note: Although we made these gluten-free, they certainly can be made with regular biscuit dough as well!

One of the fun things about starting a food blog has been finding lots of other great food blogs.Â This recipe is an adaptation from one The Lucky Wife showed me recently on another food blog.Â I knew immediately that I wanted to try a version of the recipe.Â The original did not include walnuts.Â The Lucky Wife likes for me to add nuts to recipes whenever possible.

The Well-Fed Family really enjoyed these.Â Translation:Â they will probably become a regular for us, especially since we are always looking for new breakfast ideas.Â Hope you like them, too.

Gluten-Free Banana Walnut Buttermilk Biscuits

Yield: 10-12 biscuits

Ingredients:

2 1/4 cups all-purpose gluten-free flour
3/4 teaspoons Xanthan Gum
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup butter
3/4 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup banana, mashed
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup walnuts, chopped

Cooking Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Mix all dry ingredients together.
Cut in butter until mixture is crumbly.
Slowly add buttermilk, banana and vanilla to moisten.
Hand pat dough out on floured surface. Do not over work dough. If mixture is too wet, add in small amounts of flour until dough can be worked.
Cut biscuits out with biscuit cutter. (I used a floured glass, rim side down).
Place biscuits on lightly greased sheet pan and bake approximately 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown.
