Banana Bread
Bananas Are Wonderful!
We’ve all noticed how the bananas develope brown spots after a few days and they don’t look as appetizing as they used to, so we end up throwing them away. DON’T! This is when they are perfect for making delicious banana bread 😀
We’ve been experimenting with different recipes and ingredients, we feel confident we’ve finally made the perfect Banana Bread! This recipe only take 5-10 minutes to prepare and once it’s in the oven you can really smell the sweet cinnamon working it’s magic! It’s perfect when it’s still warm and it has that extra crispy outer shell and is moist on the inside. It’s also great as a lunch alternative for work or when you have company. This is how we did it.
You’ll need:
- 1 Cup Whole Wheat
- 1 Cup Oatmeal
- 1 Tbsp Stevia (optional)
- 1/2 tsp Baking soda
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- 2 tsp Cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 3 Bananas
1. Preheat the oven to 350 F (180 C)
2. Mix all the dry ingredients together.
3. Mash the bananas and mix well with the dry ingredients.
4. Use a non stick bread pan (tin) or use baking paper. Pour the mixture in the pan and bake the bread for 30-40 minutes on the bottom shelf.
5. When it’s done take it out and set it to cool a bit before removing it from the pan.
Enjoy!
Banana Ice Cream!
I’ve made all kinds of ice cream recipes throughout the years but it’s time consuming and usually contains LOADS of sugar! There is a simpler and a much healthier way of making homemade ice cream, BANANAS! They make the perfect rich creamy ice cream! Just freeze them then whip them in a blender and voila!! 😀
There are so many things you can do with bananas, they are great and the kids definitely love them, and can even join in, it’s that simple!
What I did here is just the basic recipe, Banana Vanilla Ice Cream.
You’ll need:
- 4 Bananas
- Vanilla bean or extract (organic)
- Peel and cut the bananas into chunks, then place them in the freezer until solid (ca. 1-2 hours).
- When they are completely frozen, put them in a blender on high speed until it has that ice cream texture. You’ll need to scrape down the sides with a spatula when they stick.
- Lastly add the vanilla extract and blend it all together one last time.
If you like it soft served then the ice cream should be perfect now, but you can put it back into the freezer in an airtight container for about 20 minutes and it’ll be hard more like regular ice cream.
Try something else:
You can add all kinds of fruits and berries to the mix for different flavors. Like strawberries, blueberries, lemon, mango’s the list is endless!
Sweeter twist:
- For those of you who love peanut butter ice cream, try getting some creamy organic peanut butter and add 1 full tbsp to the mix, it’s delicious!
- You can also try adding some nut, like: Walnuts, peanuts, almonds, pecan or hazelnuts.
- Dates also work well with this recipe just make sure they are pitted
- Cinnamon, mint or coconut (flakes) all add great flavors.
- 70% (or higher) dark organic chocolate will give you that perfect chocolate flavor. You can cut into chunks, or melt the chocolate and let it cool a bit before adding to the mix (you’ll have to freeze it for 1-2 hours so it will cool completely)
Some of these might be slightly unhealthy but you can always choose organic, non dairy or vegan brands.
The possibilities are endless, make your own and tell us how you made your perfect ice cream
Oatmeal Banana Muffins
These are absolutely delish! They are low in calories and healthy, so if your craving a snack then this is a great choice. There are only a few ingredients, and it’s something you probably already have in your kitchen.
Ingredients:
- 2 Bananas
- 1/2 Cups Blueberries
- 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
- 1/4 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 2 tbsp Extra Virgin Organic Coconut Oil
- 2 Cups Oatmeal
- 1/2 Cup Coconut Flakes
- 1 tbsp Flax seeds
1. Preheat the oven to 350F/175C.
2. Mash the bananas then add the blueberries, vanilla, cinnamon and coconut oil.
3. Now mix together the rest of the ingredients.
4. Put the mixture in muffin forms or paper. Whatever you like best.
5. Place them in the oven for 15-20 minutes.
You can choose to add whatever berries you like, or some nuts if that’s what your craving. I chose blueberries because they are my favorite! These aren’t too sweet, but you can add some pitted dates instead of blueberries, or some stevia (but not to much). You can even add some chocolate but then again it wouldn’t be as healthy 😛
TIP: This is a great quick snack for the kids!
Enjoy!
