Banana bread




Got 3 ripe bananas in the fridge and decided to make banana cake this morning. I have modified the traditional banana cake recipe to make it healthier but it is every bit as tasty. You can make this recipe as organic as you like.

Here's what I used:

1/4 cup of grapeseed oil
1 teaspoon of baking soda
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1.5 cups of all purpose flour
1/2 cup of organic brown sugar
1 large organic egg
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
3 ripe organic bananas
a pinch of sea salt

Steps:
  1. Set the oven to 350F
  2. Mash the 3 bananas in a large mixing bowl
  3. Add all the remaining ingredients and mix them until you get a smooth batter
  4. Pour the batter into a 4x8 inches loaf pan and bake around 55 minutes to an hour
This takes 10 minutes to make. It's one of the tastiest and easiest dessert/snack you can make.

Nutritional info:
Banana is high in potassium, fiber and Vitamins

Tips:
- You can substitute the oil with yogurt to make it even healthier but I find the bread doesn't rise as high and it's a bit more dense
- Try not to use non-stick bake pan as it contains Teflon, which causes cancer. Use a glass or aluminum pan
