• 1-1/4 cup hot water

Quinoa, banana and apple bread

Quinoa is a super grain, much healthier than oats and has the most amount of protein than any other oats. Sounds and looks delicious! I only use quinoa for salads but this is a nice change.

You need:

• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup blond cane sugar
• 1/2 cup white rice flour (100 g)
• 1/3 cup quinoa flakes (30 g)
• 2/3 cup quinoa flour (80 g)
• 2 oz coarsely chopped dark chocolate (70 % cocoa)
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
• 7 tablespoons butter melted and slightly cooled
• 1 Macoun apple, peeled, cored and grated (or any apple good for baking)
• 2 ripe bananas, mashed with a fork

Peanut Butter chocolate chip banana bread

Ingredients:

• all purpose flour – 2 cups
• baking soda – 1 tsp
• salt – 1/2 tsp
• bananas – 3 medium, overripe, mashed
• peanut butter – 3/4 cup, creamy
• sugar – 1/4 cup
• brown sugar – 1/4 cup
• honey – 1/4 cup
• buttermilk – 1/3 cup
• vegetable oil – 1/4 cup
• eggs – 2 large
• vanilla extract – 1 tbsp
• chocolate chips – 1 cup

Instructions:

• Preheat oven to 350 F (175 C) and grease a standard sized loaf pan. Line the bottom with baking paper, then grease the paper.

• In a large bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt, then set aside.

• In a separate bowl, use an electric mixer to mix together the bananas, peanut butter, sugars, honey, milk, vegetable oil, eggs and vanilla.

• Quickly pour the wet ingredients into the flour and gently stir together with a rubber spatula until just mixed together, then fold in the chocolate chips.

• Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for about 1 hour, or until a toothpick test comes back clean. After about 40 minutes, check the bread often to make sure the top isn’t browning too much – if it is just place a foil tent over the top.

• Allow the bread to cool slightly (about 15 minutes) before turning it out and cooling completely on a wire rack.

Honey Whole Wheat Banana Bread

Ingredients

• ⅓ cup melted coconut oil or vegetable oil
• ½ cup honey
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup mashed bananas
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon cinnamon, plus more to swirl on top
• 1¾ cups whole wheat pastry flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ¼ cup hot water

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees Celsius) and grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
2. In a large bowl, beat oil and honey together. Add eggs and beat well.
3. Stir in bananas and vanilla, then stir in the salt and cinnamon. Lastly, stir in the flour, just until combined.
4. Add baking soda to hot water, stir to mix, and then mix briefly into batter until it is evenly distributed. Spread batter into the greased loaf pan.
5. Sprinkle with cinnamon and swirl with a toothpick or the tip of a butter knife for a pretty marbled effect.
6. Bake for 60 to 65 minutes. Be sure to check that the bread is done baking by inserting a toothpick in the top. It should come out clean. Let the bread cool in the loaf pan for 5 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool for 30 minutes before slicing.
