Gluten Free Honey Banana Coffee Cake
Honey is usually my go-to sweetener for things like smoothies and I’ve even used it in my baked Chocolate Chip Donuts. I’ve always been a big fan of honey, I get it from my grandfather who has honey on his cereal every morning. When I was a kid, I told him honey was what made him such a sweet old man. He still reminds me of that every time honey comes up in conversation ♥ When I heard about Tate+Lyle Honey Granules, I knew I had to give it a try! I really wanted to see how it held up in baking since sometimes using real honey can mess up the liquid to dry ingredient ratio a little bit. Replacing sugar with honey takes a bit of the ‘bulk’ out of the batter. But I thought the Tate+Lyle Honey Granules would be more great honey replacement without affecting that ratio. 
I decided to give it a whirl on a gluten free coffee cake because, go big or go home, right? Well guess what. Actually, you probably know what the end result was since you’re here reading my post titled “Honey Banana Coffee Cake”. Let’s just pretend you’re surprised and let’s start over. 
Guess what?! It works! And it tastes so good 🙂 Honey granules can also be used in tea, over cereals or when cooking. Basically, wherever you’d use honey you can use the granules instead.
You can also replace it for some of the sugar in baked goods like I did with this gluten free honey banana coffee cake. When subbing the honey granules in for fluid honey, 1 cup liquid honey = 1 cup Tate+Lyle® Honey Granules + ¼ cup additional liquid to recipe. You guys can have so much fun experimenting with this product. Enjoy!
