I am strange in the sense that I don’t like certain foods solely based on their texture. For example, I don’t like the texture of raw bananas, pudding, Tiramisu, warm fruit, and eggplant depending on how it is prepared, pretty much anything with that thick mucus texture grosses me out.
I try foods I don’t like every year just to see if anything has changed. I never liked peanut butter, but now I do, olives as well, and a plethora of other fine foods I will not list here. Raw bananas since birth has been on my, “not going to happen” list. It is a shame as I like the flavor of bananas and they are good for you with their high potassium level! I did discover that I like banana chips, banana bread and I can even handle some smoothies which contain bananas. This organic banana nut bread recipe happens to be my favorite way to eat bananas. :)
What You Need
2 1/2 cups organic flour, sifted
3 teaspoons organic baking powder
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 cup organic sugar
3/4 cup organic walnuts
1/3 cup organic butter, softened
1 organic egg
3 small organic ripe bananas, cut up
1/2 cup organic milk
What To Do
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Mix the flour, baking powder and sea salt in a medium bowl.
Put the walnuts in a blender or food processor and chop for 4-10 seconds. Add to the bowl with the flour and such.
Put the sugar, butter, egg, bananas and milk into a blender or food processor for 6-15 seconds. Then pour over the dry ingredients and mix.
Pour batter into a greased loaf pan and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.
It is great in the morning, toasted with a cup of coffee.
Enjoy.
