As a child (/for the majority of my life ie. 21 years), I hated bananas. I hated the smell, the texture, the gross peels, and most of all- the fact that they reminded me of the disgusting medicine my mother forced me to take when I was sick. Only recently have I come to like them. I began to develop an appreciation for them when I was in the Dominican Republic. I spent a month there doing volunteer work, and the snacks that they had on site were usually bananas and pineapple. Pretty much any fresh tropical fruit is delicious, so I made myself eat one, one day, and realized that they really weren't so bad! Pretty fan-friggin-tastic actually.
However, despite my childhood-loathing of bananas in their raw form, I always loved banana bread and banana muffins. I have a similar weird quirky thing where I really hated ketchup as a child, but really liked tomatoes... but that is a little different I suppose.
Anyhow, here is a recipe I found on allrecipes.com for Banana Breadl , which I made into muffins.
I also added some dark chocolate melts that I had.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup white sugar
- 1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 egg whites
- 1 cup banana, mashed
- 1/4 cup applesauce
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease an 8x4 inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and cinnamon. Add egg whites, bananas and applesauce; stir just until combined. Pour batter into prepared pan.
- Bake in preheated oven for 50 to 55 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of loaf comes out clean. Turn out onto wire rack and allow to cool.
**PS E and I JUST found out that we got the beautiful apartment that we've been waiting on! it is RIGHT on the beach. Look forward to posts with our snazzy new pad in the backdrop.
