3 banana breads. Food saving

So home for at least 10 days with this hand. 8 stitches deep cut yay.

But still a lot that can be done with one hand.

So today Jonas and I made banana bread.

One I made just the way the recipe says ( except the chocolate ), one I added dried berries, sunflower seeds and cinnamon, the third one I added pecans, cocoa powder and shredded coconut

For the bananas I went to one of my local stores and asked if I could have old bananas that they throw away. And the lady was very nice and gave me lots.

Idea for the rest of you too. Too much food is being thrown away. And it's kinda silly to buy new bananas and wait for them to get old so I can bake with them. 

Saving money and less food waste! 

Here is the recipe I used

Prep time: 5 mins

Cook time: 45 mins

Total time: 50 mins

Serves: 10-17

Ingredients

• ½ cup coconut flour
• ½ cup almond flour
• 1 cup very ripe banana mashed well with a fork (2-3 medium bananas)
• ½ cup butter melted + extra butter unmelted for greasing (preferably grass-fed or you could sub with coconut oil but it’s way better with butter)
• ¼ cup cacao nibs
• ½ teaspoon cinnamon
• ¾ teaspoon baking soda
• ¼ teaspoon no additive liquid stevia or ¼ cup honey (can increase honey all the way up to ⅓ cup of honey or ½ teaspoon of liquid stevia but I wouldn’t recommend going above ⅓ cup of honey or ½ teaspoon liquid stevia in terms of sweetness)
• 4 eggs
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• pinch of salt

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease a 8.5 x 4.5 loaf pan with butter and place a cut bit of parchment paper that fits in the bottom of the loaf pan inside it flat on the bottom.
2. In a medium sized bowl combine the coconut flour, almond flour, cinnamon, baking soda, cacao nibs, and pinch of salt and mix with a fork to reduce any clumps until thoroughly combined.
3. In a small bowl add eggs, vanilla extract, stevia or honey and whisk then add mashed banana to the egg mixture and whisk more until well combined.
4. Pour the liquid ingredients into the dry and stir with a spoon until thoroughly combined then add melted butter and continue stirring until well incorporated.
5. Spoon all of the bater in your greased loaf pan and spread it out evenly with a scraper and shape it in any way you want (specifically in the shape of a loaf so that it rises like that)
6. Place in the oven for 40-45 minutes or until the center is pierced with a toothpick and the toothpick comes out clean.
7. Pull out of the oven and let it cool slightly (only for a minute or so) then carefully run a knife along the edges to make sure nothing is sticking and cautiously invert it onto your hand or a wire rack and flip it so the bottom is laying flat on the wire rack and let it cool for 20-30 minutes. (if you can wait that long)

Notes

Update: for those of you who have had runny batter I believe it has to do with the brand of coconut flour, I think that Bobs Red Mill Organic Coconut Flour is slightly more absorbent than some of the other brands. This is amazing sliced and toasted with butter in a pan. Just turn a pan to medium heat and add a butter pat to the pan and let it melt slightly then add the bread and swirl it around on both sides until it’s toasted to your liking. Crisy-edged, warm and buttery goodness.
