Here is a great bread recipe to give as gifts or to much on at breakfast time. Again, I can't get my husband to get breakfast, but he'll sip on a smoothie or scarf down a piece of this bread.
Banana Bread with Coconuts and Walnuts
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups of whole-wheat flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. kosher salt
1 cup sugar

2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups coarsely mashed ripe bananas ( 2 or 3)

I'm not a coconut girl but I do love the idea of adding walnuts :D
ReplyDeleteYou can nix the coconut! :) A lot of people aren't coconut fans. I am sure it is just as great without it.
