Try another recipe
My DH makes a lovely GF banana cake using Edmonds banana sponge recipe and either Bakels or Edmonds GF flour.
When I make GF biscuits I usually add xanthin gum for a better result

It might be the difference between using gf flour, not gf flower?

I tried your recipe at #2 yesterday, and confirm it's great.....
(and I used erythritol, not sugar - and no flowers...)
