I've gone BaNaNas!

So, when I'm feeling bored (which is always), BAKING is one thing that will surely snap me out of it. I love it! It's the perfect "Type A" activity because not only is everything done with precise measurements, but it also will occupy you for at least 45 minutes. Baking is a pleasure because you follow instructions and get (almost) instant gratification.

Nonetheless, yesterday afternoon I decided to use up my blackened bananas. Do y'all throw away your bananas when they start to turn?? If so, change your habit & save your $$. Unpeel the bananas, wrap them up individually in plasticwrap, and freeze! This way, you'll always have bananas for breads or smoothies.
I don't remember where I found this recipe recently but it turned out perfectly!


Want some?? Ok, here's what you'll need:

3 ripe bananas (the riper, the sweeter)
1/4 cup canola oil
1/4 cup crushed pineapple, drained
1/2 cup sugar
2 cups flour (I used 1 cup white & 1 cup wheat)
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking soda
Pinch of salt
1/2 cup shredded coconut

What to do:
1. Preheat your oven to 350F
2. Spray your loaf pan
3. Put bananas into a large bowl

4. and MASH

5. Add in the sugar, pineapple, and oil. Using a wooden spoon, stir until just combined.

6. In a medium bowl, sift together the flours,cinnamon & baking soda

7. Then add the flour mixture into the large bowl with the bananas.

Add in the coconut & stir with a wooden spoon until everything is just combined. OVERstirring can cause whatever you're baking to become stiff.

Once everything is incorporated, pour into your prepared loaf pan & pop into the oven for 45 minutes.

The top should be golden & a toothpick inserted in the middle should come out clean.

This is such an easy & healthy recipe for something that can be used as a breakfast to go or even a dessert with some coffee (AND it's vegan!). I hope you try this out soon. At the very least, it will fill your kitchen with amazing scents. Let me know what you think!!

Goodnight, bloggettes.
