There were four small overripe bananas sitting in a bowl our living room begging to be mashed and used in some type of cake, and I knew just what to make:
Banana bread! Banana bread was actually one of the first things I ever learned to bake by myself so it holds a special place in my heart. The recipe I made yesterday comes from Kirsten’s blog (in Dutch) and it’s quite a bit healthier than the recipe I used to make, which was a nice bonus, and it’s just as delicious. It’s also pretty filling because of the whole grains, fruits, and nuts, so I had two slices this morning and they made a pretty decent (and very tasty) quick breakfast!

What a cool-looking banana bread! Thank you for introducing me to Kirsten’s lovely blog, too. I don’t speak Dutch at all, and I really wish I did.
You’re welcome! I love finding vegan/food blogs in other languages too, even if I can’t really read them very well. I’ve been meaning to look for more of those as I don’t get the chance to practice reading foreign languages that often anymore. If you come across anything in Dutch that you’d like to read, I’d be happy to help! I like using Google translate to get the gist of texts (and to laugh at what it produces) but it’s not very reliable especially with recipes…
Oh yes! Banana bread was one of the first ever things I baked, I love that it uses something that I would otherwise throw away and I love adding chocolate too!
I really like the chocolate as well! But the walnuts are probably my favourite. I only had a few left this time but I love to sprinkle loads of them on top of the batter.
Would you believe that I’ve never had banana bread? Ever? Unfortunately I’ve only got 2 very ripe bananas… Could make a small one of course! ;) So you eat this for breakfast, just like a muffin?
Ooh yes, and you could make banana bread muffins, too! then you could just make a smaller batch of muffins rather than a smaller loaf :)
Yum……What I really love is the bamboo fork! I got all that bamboo stuff for travel and find I never want to eat with anything else! I love the bread part too! Just not doing bread so much right now!
Yes, I love wooden cutlery! I love wooden spoons and spatulas for cooking so I was pretty excited when I found these smaller ones. I originally bought a set to use for picnics, but they’re great for other things as well.
Banana bread is awesome. I usually make the lower fat one from Veganomicon, but have loved one with tahini in it too, and this seems amazing!
Ooh, I’ve never had banana bread with tahini! I still have to try the on in Veganomicon, too (I made it once but made so many substitutions that it didn’t come out right, so I really need to make it again).
