It is a good thing that you can not see what goes on behind the scenes of My Crash Test Life's kitchen.
Seriously, you would be highly discouraged and probably feel pretty sorry for me if you counted how many times I have envisioned these beautiful recipe creations only to have them result in a complete disaster.
However, every so often, one of my recipes turn out to be OUT OF THIS WORLD DELICIOUS and those are the ONLY ones I post on this blog.
Am I an addict? I don't know, but the excitement of a recipe blossoming into its full potential is a pretty amazing feeling.
So, although it took 3 failed "easy" banana bread recipes to get to the creation of this Maple Banana Skillet Bread, one bite was all it took to quickly forget about the previous failures!

How to make Maple Banana Skillet Bread
Step 1:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a 6 inch cast iron skillet (or other oven-safe skillet), melt 4 tablespoon of butter. Once the butter has melted, add in 1 tablespoon of maple syrup and remove the skillet from the heat.
Step 2:
In a medium-size mixing bowl, add 2 ripe bananas. With your handheld mixer on medium speed, add ¼ cup brown sugar and ¼ cup white sugar. Continue to beat until everything has been combined. Add 2 eggs and beat on high speed. Next, add in the coconut flour, additional maple syrup, baking powder, baking soda, xanthan gum, salt and vanilla. Once everything has been mixed together, add in the vinegar and stir to combine. Carefully spread the mixture over the maple butter mixture and place the skillet in the oven for 30-35 minutes or until the center of the bread has set.
Since the first Maple Banana Skillet Bread turned out absolutely amazing, I thought it may have been a fluke.
Not wanting to disappoint my readers, I decided to try the same recipe again 2 hours later.
And the result?
ABSOLUTELY UNBELIEVABLY AMAZING!
